Implication

Assessment reports significant tissue damage and toxicity patterns in Anopheles gambiae exposed to plant extracts, suggesting implications for vector control.

Key Points

Severe midgut damage observed, with a mean severity score of 4.4±0.5 from methanol extracts after acute exposure.
Ethyl acetate extracts led to significantly milder histopathological effects (p<0.001), indicating variability in toxicity based on solvent type.
Study utilized hematoxylin and eosin staining to assess acute and chronic toxicity in Anopheles gambiae, focusing on tissue integrity.
Findings emphasize the need for careful solvent selection in botanical insecticide formulations to enhance vector control efficacy.
