Generation time has been used synonymously with the term "serial interval." Serial interval is the time from the onset of symptoms in the index case until the onset of symptoms in any secondary cases. For human seasonal influenza, the mean serial interval has been estimated as 3.6 days (95% confidence interval = 2.9-4.3 days) (Cowling BJ et al, Estimation of the Serial Interval of Influenza, Epidemiology 2009; 20(3): 344-7.
