This article discusses the pandemic of a novel strain of H1N1 swine-origin influenza A virus that emerged in the United States and Mexico in the spring of 2009. The ability of real-time reports of influenza-like illness symptoms and rapid influenza diagnostic tests were examined to approximate the spatiotemporal distribution of PCR-confirmed S-OIV cases for the purposes of focusing local intervention efforts.

The results suggested that influenza-like illness symptoms and rapid influenza diagnostic spatiotemporal analysis may be useful in understanding the nature of S-OIV outbreaks in space and time. An understanding of real-time intervention and control can effectively inform when and where local intervention should be focused and minimize outbreak impacts.
