“…Indeed, Dzenda et al (2008) affirmed that the lesions of the liver and kidneys appeared after a chronic intoxication. In the same way, according to Morris and Powell (2000), rats having consumed more than 2.5 mg/kg of rotenone during two years did not develop any pathological signs, which could be due to rotenone.…”

To evaluate the toxicity of fish captured with Tephrosia Vogelii (TV), an ichtyotoxic plant, the Wistar albino rats were fed with the flour of tilapias Sarotherodon melanotheron poisoned with TV leaves powder. This study aimed to evaluate the poisonous effects of TV on various organs of rats, especially the liver and kidney. Three groups of Wistar rats were constituted and fed for 28 days. Histological sections were done on the liver and kidneys. Plasmatic levels of alanine aminotransaminase (ALAT) and aspartate aminotransaminase (ASAT) were measured. The histological sections carried out on their organs presented no lesions. However, the biochemical parameters, ALAT and ASAT showed a slight change. This study shows that the ingestion of fish poisoned with T. vogelii does not provoke any digestive lesion in Wistar rats, but the slight changes in biochemical parameters makes it foreseeable to prohibit fishing with T. vogelii and to prevent their consumption by humans.

“…In insects and fish, rotenone interferes with mitochondrial electron transport system, whereas mammals are more tolerant [38]. Rotenone however, is less soluble in water and easily disintegrates in the environment [12] which explains the presently observed reduced toxicity by aqueous extracts. Anthracenosides and anthocyanosides have been incriminated as toxic phytochemicals previously.…”

“…The plant is widely promoted in eastern and southern Africa for its insecticidal properties [11], although some people use it as a fish poison [12]. Vernonia amygdalina Delile (Family Asteraceae; synonym Cacalia amygdalina (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/ gcc-84295) Kuntze, TICA Id 2949) is a shrub that grows predominantly in tropical Africa [2,10].…”

“…It has also been proven that the concentration of rotenone is high in leaves formed during the growing season and remains constant in a given leaf throughout its life on the plant [28]. Only leaves were used in the study, the killing and anti-feedant effects displayed by the sand fl y can be attributed to single or combination actions of rotenone, elliptone, deguelin, rutin, tephrosin, rotenolone or quercetin that have been isolated from leaves [14,29].…”

The effi cacy of allopatric Tephrosia vogelii in killing eggs and larvae of the sand fl y Phlebotomus duboscqi was tested in the laboratory. In this study effects of both water and crude powder extracs of Tephrosia vogelii were tested against against pre-emerginal stages of P. duboscqi in the laboratory. Three groups of eggs were wetted with T. vogelii extracts from Kilifi (TVK), Nairobi (TVN) and Vihiga Counties (TVV) and observed for morphological changes, motility, transformation and death. Six groups of 30 fi rst instar larvae were fed on T. vogelii crude powder either alone or mixed with larvae food. All larvae given TVN powder become immortile, did not feed and died at the fi rst instar stage, whereas those fed on TVV and TVK did not die. Combining all the three extracts also led the death of all fi rst and second instar larvae, but gradual death and disintegration of third instar larvae was sequentially observed. The differences in activities of the allopatric plants can be attributed to allopatric introgression arising from geopgraphic separation leading to introgressive hybridization. The killing and anti-feedant activities of TVN could also mean that it is a chemotype 1 plant that contains rotenoid whereas TVK and TVV are chemotype 2 that lack rotenoids. Feeding deterrence has been shown to be caused by rutin and quercetin. Considering that only leaves were used, the toxicity of TVN can be attributed to single or combination actions of rotenone, elliptone, deguelin, rutin, rotenolone, tephrosin or quercetin that have been shown to be present in leaves. Results of this study suggest that T. vogelli has detrimental insecticidal effects on pre-emerginal stages of P. duboscqi and has potential for sand fl y control. This control method can be achieved through direct introduction of crude dried T. vogelii powder into termite mound ventilation shafts and animal burrows where sand fl ies are known to breed and rest.
