<p>Adult male <i>Ae</i>. <i>albopictus</i> (A) and female <i>Ae</i>. <i>aegypti</i> and <i>Cx</i>. <i>quinquefasciatus</i> (B) were transferred from room temperature to -15 <sup>o</sup>C with (right of A and B) or without water (left of A and B). Adult mosquitoes were removed (at 1-h interval for mosquitoes exposing with water or at 1- or 2-min interval for mosquitoes exposing without water) from subzero temperature and recovered under normal rearing condition until 100% mortality were reached. N = 3 groups of 20 adult mosquitoes for each data point.</p>
