RESUMEN
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.
