Journal Article
The effects of Mundulea sericea (Fabales: Fabaceae) water extracts on Phlebotomus duboscqi (Diptera: Psychodidae) eggs and larvae
Christopher O. Anjili,Robert Mugambi,David K. Siele,Bernard Langat,Kevin Kamanyi,Sarah Nyasende,Philip M. Ngumbi +6 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that suggest that M. sericea water extracts do not penetrate the egg chorion, thus the lack of activity, and the inability of P. duboscqi to digest the chlorophyll of M.Sericea so as to release rotenone could be responsible for absence of entomocidal effect.
