Venom proteome of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The nematocyst is a complex intracellular structure unique to Cnidaria. When triggered to discharge, the nematocyst explosively releases a long spiny, tubule that delivers an often highly venomous mixture of components.

Cardiotoxic Effects of Venoms From Chironex fleckeri and Chiropsalmus sp. on an Invertebrate Model [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases, 2006 Extracted venoms from two species of cubozoan, Chironex fleckeri (C. fleckeri)and Chiropsalmus sp., were injected into the freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus (C. quadricarinatus).

Structural Characterisation of Predicted Helical Regions in the Chironex fleckeri CfTX-1 Toxin [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2018 The Australian jellyfish Chironex fleckeri, belongs to a family of cubozoan jellyfish known for their potent venoms. CfTX-1 and -2 are two highly abundant toxins in the venom, but there is no structural data available for these proteins.

Cubozoan venom-induced cardiovascular collapse is caused by hyperkalemia and prevented by zinc gluconate in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Chironex fleckeri (Australian box jellyfish) stings can cause acute cardiovascular collapse and death. We developed methods to recover venom with high specific activity, and evaluated the effects of both total venom and constituent porins at doses ...
