METHODS: We reviewed entry screening policies adopted by different nations and ascertained dates of official report of the first laboratory-confirmed imported H1N1 case and the first laboratory-confirmed untraceable or 'local' H1N1 case. To explore potential delays in local H1N1 transmission associated with entry screening, we ascertained dates of official report of the first laboratory-confirmed imported H1N1 case and the first laboratory-confirmed untraceable or 'local' H1N1 case (i.e. a case not otherwise epidemiologically linked with international travel, contact with an imported case or their secondary infectees) and the interval between these two events. Additional file 1: Use of entry screening* and interval between confirmation of first imported pandemic influenza A (H1N1) case and confirmation of first untraceable local case	./cache/cord-288972-dc6xbxha.txt	./txt/cord-288972-dc6xbxha.txt
