Our interest is to quantify the spread of an infective process with latency period and generic incidence rate that takes place in a finite and homogeneous population. Within a stochastic framework, two random variables are defined to describe the variations of the number of secondary cases produced by an index case inside of a closed population. Computational algorithms are presented in order to characterize both random variables. Finally, theoretical and algorithmic results are illustrated by several numerical examples.
