Abstract
Herein is described a method devised to cryopreserve mosquito eggs, viable upon subsequent thawing. The method reproducibly yields >25% hatched first instar larvae of-species mosquitoes from cryopreserved eggs. The majority of hatched larvae continue to develop normally (87% pupation), through to adults (98%, 50% of which are female) which subsequently blood feed and produce viable second generation embryos that also develop normally. Adult mosquitoes obtained from cryopreserved embryos are able to be infected withgametocytes and produce salivary gland sporozoites in similar numbers to control mosquitoes.
