【Abstract】 Objective To know about West Nile virus （WNV） in mosquitoes during 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and prevent and control West Nile fever. Methods Mosquitoes were collected by  CO2  lamp  trapping  method.  Two  methods, ADAPCO’s Ramp System and MAS’s VecTest Kits, were used to detect WNV in mosquitoes. Results Compared with 2006 and 2007, the density of main vectors decreased significantly in 2008. Culex pipiens pallens was the dominant specie of mosquito, which constituted ratio reached 96.94% in Beijing Olympic venues. There were 22 275 mosquitoes captured in Beijing Olympic venues that all were negative by detection. Conclusion Mosquitoes were controlled effectively in 2008 Olympic Games. No WNV?positive mosquitoes were detected.

Objective To select West Nile virus(WNV) quick detecting methods from mosquitoes which can be used in China. Methods Two methods,ADAPCO's RAMP System and MAS's VecTest kits were selected. The sensitivity and accuracy of these two methods and its cross-reaction with Japanese Encephalitis virus were tested. These two methods also were used to detect WNV in wild mosquitoes. Results The results show that both of the two methods can be used to detect WNV. Ramp system is more sensitive than VecTest kits. RT-PCR confirmed that no false positive and false negative results were obtained. These two methods have no cross-reaction in detecting WNV and Japanese Encephalitis virus. 6 species of wild mosquitoes were detected by these two methods. No WNV was found. Conclusion Both of Ramp system and VecTest can be used to detect WNV.
