Solanum villosum herbal treatment
Synthetic insecticides are increasingly useless in fighting disease-spreading mosquitoes, such as the Stegomyia aegypti that can spread dengue and yellow fever viruses. Proteins of mature leaves of S. villosum exhibit moderate larvicidal and antimicrobial activities.
As of August 2010, no human studies could be found on
Medline with Solanum villosum herb.
Solanum villosum benefit
Juice and extracts from the Solanum villosum weed may be helpful in eliminating
S. aegypti larvae.
The Solanum villosum extract could potentially be used in stagnant water bodies
which are known to be the breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Certain
chemical compounds in Solanum villosum berry juice act as a repellent protecting
against the lethal effects of the larval mosquitoes.
Solanum species that contain mainly solasodine glycosides include
