English term or phrase: serial interval
Definition from PubMed:
The serial interval of an infectious disease represents the duration between symptom onset of a primary case and symptom onset of its secondary cases.

Example sentence(s):
  • Estimates of the clinical-onset serial interval of human influenza infection (time between onset of symptoms in an index case and a secondary case) are used to inform public health policy and to construct mathematical models of influenza transmission. NCBI
  • We estimate a mean serial interval for COVID-19 of 3.96 (95% CI 3.53–4.39) days, with an SD of 4.75 (95% CI 4.46–5.07) days, which is considerably lower than reported mean serial intervals of 8.4 days for severe acute respiratory syndrome (5) to 14.6 days (6) for Middle East respiratory syndrome. CDC
  • The COVID-19 serial interval is also shorter than the serial interval of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), indicating that calculations made using the SARS serial interval may introduce bias. ScienceDirect

sériový interval


Definition from ZDRAVOaFIT.sk:
Chrípka má kratšiu inkubačnú dobu (čas potrebný na to, aby infikovaná osoba prejavila príznaky) a kratší sériový interval (čas medzi potvrdenými následnými prípadmi).

Example sentence(s):
  • Sériový interval je pri ochorení COVID-19 8 dní, čo je podobné s údajmi o ostatných nových koronavírusoch.38,45,47,70 - Martin Teaching Hospital  

Explanation:
There are not many instances of "sériový interval" on Slovak pages, however, one may find many more examples of this term on Czech pages, such as of the State Institute of Health (http://www.szu.cz/tema/prevence/chripka-versus-koronavirus-p... and the news portal AC24 (https://ac24.cz/-/vyzkumnici-epidemii-vypocitali-budoucnost-... Since the languages are similar and frequently use identical terminology, it could be assumed that the term is indeed correct.
