OBJECTIVES Ticks are vectors of several diseases, of which many are zoonosis transmissible to humans. The use of Tephrosia leafs' extract as a low cost acaricide is spreading among farmers in central Kenya. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study's aim is to inventory endogenous control methods against dogs' ticks among which Rhipicephalus sanguineus, in the Municipality of Abomey-Calavi. Fro...

We describe stereocontrolled semi-syntheses of deguelin and tephrosin, anti-cancer rotenoids isolated from Tephrosia vogelii. Firstly, we present a new two-step transformation of rotenone into rot-2'-enonic acid via a zinc-mediated ring opening of rotenone hydrobromide. Secondly, following conversion of rot-2'-enonic acid into deguelin, a chromium-mediated hydroxylation provides tephrosin as a ...

Global population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, increasing pressure on food production (Godfray et al., 2010). Constraintson crop production areparticularly acute in Africa where population growth is greatest and where 80% of all food is produced by small holder farmers on farm sizes of less than one hectare (Stevenson and Belmain, 2016). Crop losses caused by pests and diseases are t...
