Abstract The viability of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) eggs was determined by storing the eggs for long period of up to 1,889 d. The viability of eggs declined over time from 88.54 to 4.89% for the storage period of 1–1,883 d (5.15 yr). The percentage of collapsed eggs was inversely proportional to the hatching rate of eggs. In the first day of storage, the eggs remained healthy and intact, and except a few, the eggs were deformed and boat shaped with cleft due to inward shrinkage during long storage of 1,883 d.
