System to auto-detect new variants will inform better response to future infectious disease outbreaks.

New approach uses samples from infected humans to allow real-time monitoring of pathogens circulating in human populations, and enable vaccine-evading bugs to be quickly and automatically identified.

This could inform the development of vaccines that are more effective in preventing disease.

Scientists are worried about genetic changes that allow pathogens to evade our immune system and cause disease despite us being vaccinated against them.

"This work has the potential to become an integral part of infectious disease surveillance systems around the world," says Henrik Salje .

The insights it provides could "completely change the way governments respond," he says.
