During summers in 2007 and 2008, an investigation was conducted to identify the distribution of mosquitoes and circulation of mosquito-borne arboviruses in Inner Mongolia, China. A total of 10,542 mosquitoes consisting of seven species from the Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles genera were trapped by UV-light traps, and they were sorted into 211 pools according to species, location, and date of collection. The result showed that Aedes dorsalis was the most common species, accounting for 41.0% (4327/10,542) of the total. Culex modestus (17.1%, 1801/10,542) made up the second largest species, followed by Aedes flavidorsalis (16.3%, 1714/10,542). Six virus isolates were obtained from pooled mosquitoes using cell culture and were identified as Tahyna virus (two isolates from Ae. dorsalis and C. modestus), Banna virus (one isolate from C. modestus), and Culex Pipiens pallens Densovirus (three isolates from Aedes caspius) by serological and molecular methods.
