Collection and separation of Aedes taeniorhynchus eggshells from mangrove soil. 1991

Two methods to separate eggshells of Aedes taeniorhynchus from mangrove soil were compared. Selective sieving, using nested sieves with 0.185 and 0.170-mm screen openings, and water flotation both removed over 99% of the soil. However, water flotation recovered a significantly greater percentage of eggshells (62% vs. 34%). There was no significant difference in the recovery rate of viable eggs and new and old eggshells using water flotation.
