Chirodropid box jellyfish in the Gulf of Thailand [PDF]
Marine Biodiversity, 2018 Numerous severe and fatal cases of jellyfish stings have been reported from the Gulf of Thailand, and chirodropid box jellyfish have been suspected to be responsible for them. Despite the severity of these envenomations, only a few studies have been conducted on the jellyfish in this region.

A cell-based assay for screening of antidotes to, and antivenom against Chironex fleckeri (box jellyfish) venom [PDF]
Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods, 2009 Introduction: Chironex fleckeri is a large box jellyfish that has been labelled the ‘most venomous animal’ in the world. We have recently shown that the primary effect of C. fleckeri venom in vivo is cardiovascular collapse.

Toxins from the box-jellyfish Chironex fleckeri
Toxicon, 1993Two myotoxins (T1 and T2) with mol. wts of approximately 600,000 and 150,000, respectively, and a haemolysin (T3) with a mol. wt of approximately 70,000 were isolated from the crude nematocyst venom of C. fleckeri by the use of Sephadex G-200 chromatography. A neurotoxic fraction (T4) and a haemolytic fraction (T5) containing proteins with apparent mol.

Verapamil potentiation of Chironex (box-jellyfish) antivenom
Toxicon, 1990'Rescue' experiments were performed on mice to compare the efficacy of i.v. verapamil, box-jellyfish antivenom, and a combination of both agents to counter the effects of toxic material extracted from the tentacles of Chironex fleckeri. In each of three series of experiments, four sets of mice were injected with doses of Chironex tentacle extracts ...

The Ecology of Box Jellyfishes (Cubozoa)
2013The Cubozoa are poorly known compared to their scyphozoan relatives. This has partly been due to a limited knowledge of taxonomy, the rarity of some taxa as well as extreme temporal and spatial variation in abundance of medusae. The latter may reflect the small spatial scales of many populations. Although cubozoan medusae vary greatly in size, they are

Swim pacemakers in box jellyfish are modulated by the visual input
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2008A major part of the cubozoan central nervous system is situated in the eye-bearing rhopalia. One of the neuronal output channels from the rhopalia carries a swim pacemaker signal, which has a one-to-one relation with the swim contractions of the bell shaped body. Given the advanced visual system of box jellyfish and that the pacemaker signal originates

Structure and optics of the eyes of the box jellyfish Chiropsella bronzie
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2009Cubomedusae have a total of 24 eyes of four morphologically different types. Two of these eye types are camera-type eyes (upper and lower lens-eye), while the other two eye types are simpler pigment pit eyes (pit and slit eye). Here, we give a description of the visual system of the box jellyfish species Chiropsella bronzie and the optics of the lens ...

[Marine envenomation by box-jellyfish in a tourist in Cambodia].
Bulletin de la Societe de pathologie exotique (1990), 2013We report a case of box-jellyfish related envenomation in a 40 year old tourist that occurred in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, in the Gulf of Thailand. Symptoms that appeared within a few minutes associated intense pain, hand edema and large edematous and erythematous flagellations in the stung skin areas.
