Economic aspects of the detection of new strains in a multi-strain epidemiological–mathematical model

Summary

Uses an epidemiological, genomic and economic model to study testing policies for detecting new pathogen strains. A well-designed genomic-sequencing policy can be both economically and epidemiologically efficient, while random population sampling gives sub-optimal results.
