Comet assay reveals DNA damage in Anopheles gambiae from plant extracts, suggesting potential in vector control.

Exposure to plant extracts leads to significant genotoxic effects in Anopheles gambiae, notably affecting DNA integrity.
The comet assay indicated methanol extracts caused the highest DNA damage at 78.6%, with a significant p-value of <0.001.
Analysis of midgut cells after exposure revealed differences in genotoxicity across solvent types and plant sources.
The study highlights the potential of plant-derived insecticides in altering DNA, impacting vector control strategies.

Umar et al. (2025) studied this question.
