Optimizing laboratory-based surveillance networks for monitoring multi-genotype or multi-serotype infections

Scatterplots of annual mean incidence rate and the proportion of typing resources allocating to each location under the archetypal design IncRate (black dots) and the Optimal designs for minimizing the MAE of estimated serotype-incidence rate of all HFMD cases (blue triangles) when the available typing resources is (A) halved, (B) doubled, and (C) quintupled; and the Optimal designs for minimizing the MAE of estimated serotype-incidence rate of severe HFMD cases (blue squares) when the available typing resources is (D) halved, (E) doubled, and (F) quintupled.
