16.1 Introduction
Infectious diseases continue to burden the world as the second leading cause of death [1]. According to World Health Organization, infectious diseases cause 
of all childhood deaths and 
of premature deaths over the world [2]. That being said, regions affected most seriously by infectious disease are developing countries [3–5]. One major hindrance to the control of infectious diseases in such countries is the limitation of resources [6]. Therefore, health‐planning during an outbreak of an infectious disease in a developing country becomes highly nontrivial and challenging. Let alone the straightforward factors such as transmission dynamics, it is necessary to take into account environmental, geographical, and behavioral factors when designing control strategies. Further, explicit objectives must be identified in order to review and assess the control process. Eventually, a resource schedule in such a control process must prescribe how the resources must be distributed, what control strategies must be implemented, and ...
