AB  - The global spread of a novel A (H1N1) influenza virus in 2009 has highlighted the 
      possibility of a devastating pandemic similar to the 'Spanish flu' of 1917-1918. 
      Responding to such pandemics requires careful planning for the early phases where 
      there is no availability of pandemic vaccine. We set out to compute a 
      Neighborhood Influenza Susceptibility Index (NISI) describing the vulnerability 
      of local communities of different geo-socio-physical structure to a pandemic 
      influenza outbreak. We used a spatially explicit geo-physical model of Linkoping 
      municipality (pop. 136,240) in Sweden, and employed an ontology-modeling tool to 
      define simulation models and transmission settings. We found considerable 
      differences in NISI between neighborhoods corresponding to primary care areas 
      with regard to early progress of the outbreak, as well as in terms of the total 
      accumulated share of infected residents counted after the outbreak. The NISI can 
      be used in local preparations of physical response measures during pandemics.
