%X anopheles darlingi mosquitoes, exposed to variable relative humidity (rh) in the field, were preserved during transportation to the laboratory using two different methods: 100% isopropanol at ambient temperature or frozen in liquid nitrogen or dry ice. the dna isolated from samples collected at rh greater than 91% and preserved in isopropanol was degraded, while dna isolated from insects kept in liquid nitrogen or dry ice maintained its integrity when collected under conditions of up to 95% rh
