Hierarchical algorithm with S = 4 stages and master pool size n1 = 12. Pools that test positively for at least one infection are split into subpools. Pools that test negatively for both infections are not split further. The last stage is individual testing where final diagnoses are made. The maximum number of pools tested in stage s is n1/ns.
