Mfundo

1

Researchers at the University of Queensland reported in 2021 that the caterpillar's venom contains at least 151 different toxins.1

2

The toxin cecropin causes the pain and also breaks down the cell membranes of bacteria and worms.1

3

A protein called DV33 can kill Haemonchus contortus, a roundworm that affects sheep.1

4

Some of the toxins have medicinal properties, such as the ability to kill harmful bacteria and parasitic worms.1

5

Some of the nervous-system proteins in the venom may have beneficial effects, such as in epilepsy.1
