Generation time estimates for influenza A(H1N1) from several independent studies.

The generation time is presented in days. A range of possible generation times is shown when multiple estimations were made. The confidence interval (CI) is given wherever possible. A median latent period of days (CI: –) [27] and days (CI: –) [24] has been reported. The infectious period can be estimated using the generation time as latent period and half the infectious period are on average the generation time [4].
