The present invention relates to the detection of the likely presence of a virus in the environment. The detection is accomplished in a relatively rapid fashion that permits countermeasures to be taken to reduce the debilitating or deadly effects of the virus upon the target population. In one embodiment, the detection is accomplished by looking for the mass spectral signature or biomarker for a lipid, which is present in the cell cultures used to produce the virus. One biomarker that is considered particularly diagnostic for the presence of a virus is cholesterol.

La présente invention permet de détecter la présence éventuelle d'un virus dans l'environnement. Cette détection s'effectue d'une manière relativement rapide qui permet de prendre des contre-mesures pour limiter les effets débilitants ou mortels du virus sur la population visée. Dans une forme de réalisation, on effectue cette détection en recherchant la signature par spectre de masse ou biomarqueur pour un lipide présent dans les cultures cellulaires utilisées pour produire le virus. Un biomarqueur réputé particulièrement efficace pour diagnostiquer la présence d'un virus est le cholestérol.
