Compound tested in the G6PD-deficient zebrafish model. (A) Eucalyptus oil. (B) A variety of roots, bark, herbs to brew Yoruba tea (right panel). (C) Methylated spirits.

Hemolysis in a G6PD-deficient zebrafish model. Top micrograph shows a zebrafish at 72 hpf with intact red blood cells. Bottom micrograph shows an edematous G6PD-deficient zebrafish at 72 hpf after 48 h of methylated spirit exposure. Both animals were subject to o-dianisidine staining to show hemoglobin containing red cells. Zebrafish were imaged using a Leica DFC340FX fluorescent microscope with PlanAPO 1.6×/0.05 NA objective. Image capture was performed with Leica Application Suite X 3.6.0.2010 (https://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/microscope-software/p/leica-application-suite/).

Enumeration of the hemolytic phenotype in G6PD-deficient zebrafish after compound exposure. (A) Impact of eucalyptus oil exposure and regular fishwater on zebrafish in the following groups: G6PD MO, and random MO, uninjected control group. (B) Impact of methylated spirits exposure versus regular fishwater on zebrafish in the following groups: G6PD MO, and random MO, uninjected control group. (C) Impact of Yoruba tea exposure versus regular fishwater on zebrafish in the following groups: G6PD MO, and random MO, uninjected control group.

Treatment effect of compounds on G6PD-deficient zebrafish. Tallies were normalized to phenotype data produced in the unexposed embryos to produce a treatment effect. Random MO and G6PD MO injected animals were compared using multivariate analysis was used to separate effects from morpholino exposure versus compound exposure.
