Venom and cnidome ontogeny of the cubomedusae Chironex fleckeri
Toxicon, 2012 This is the first study to explore venom and cnidome variation of individual cubomedusae, Chironex fleckeri, of different ages and from different regional locations in relation to feeding ecology. As medusae matured the proportion of mastigophores (those nematocysts containing the lethal venom component) in the cnidome increased, along with proportion ...

Verapamil treatment in severe Chironex fleckeri stings
Toxicon, 2004 [Extract] We thank Burnett and Calton for their interest in our work on Chironex fleckeri venom. However, we have significant concerns that they have focussed on the use of verapamil, and not discussed this in relation to the value of antivenom and magnesium.

CHIRONEX FLECKERI (“SEA WASP”) STING [PDF]
Medical Journal of Australia, 1968 Locomotion of the box jellyfish Chiropsalmus sp. (cf quadrigatus)1 (Haeckel) and Chironex fleckeri (Southcott) was analysed using digital video. Specimens of Chiropsalmus sp. and C.

Toxic material from the tentacles of the cubomedusan Chironex fleckeri
Toxicon, 1971 Toxic material, lethal to mice and rats, was extracted from the tentacles of Chironex fleckeri from which nematocysts had been previously removed. The tentacle toxin was inactivated by heating at 35° or by exposure to proteolytic enzymes. The hearts of rats injected with the toxin showed a decrease in amplitude of cardiac contractions, bradycardia and ...

Molecular and structural insights into Chironex fleckeri venom [PDF]
, 2019 This thesis focuses on the characterization of the bioactivity, composition, molecular pathways and structural aspects of Chironex fleckeri venom proteins. C. fleckeri is a box jellyfish that recurrently causes minor to fatal envenomations on the beaches of the northern half of Australia.

Immunogenicity of N-CfTX-2 Antigen of Chironex fleckeri Jellyfish in Mice
Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Qum, 2018 Background and Objectives: Chironex. fleckeri is the most toxic and dangerous marine species. CfTX-2 is one of the antigenic proteins of jellyfish venom that has been suggested for stimulation of the immune system, for treatment, and as a candidate for ...

Toxicology Letters, 2010 Chironex fleckeri (box jellyfish) are found in the northern tropical waters of Australia. Although C. fleckeri have a wide geographical distribution and are able to swim large distances, adults tend to stay in small restricted areas. Clinical data shows that deaths from envenoming have not been recorded in Western Australia, yet numerous fatalities ...

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Macrorhynchia philippina is a colonial benthic hydroid from the Class Hydrozoa (Phylum Cnidaria) distributed in the tropical and subtropical marine waters from Atlantic Ocean, Indo‐Pacific, and Mozambique. Its colonies somewhat resemble plants, causing confusion in the bathers who accidentally touch the animal. Acute burning/local pain, edema, erythema,

Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 14, Page 3200-3217, July 2021., 2021 With the continued rise in sea surface temperature, species redistributions are becoming more commonplace around the world. Around Australia, at least 198 marine species, from 9 phyla, are redistributing their distributions, 87% of which are shifting poleward, in accordance with climate change.

Growth, development and temporal variation in the onset of six Chironex fleckeri medusae seasons: a contribution to understanding jellyfish ecology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Despite the worldwide distribution, toxicity and commercial, industrial and medical impacts jellyfish present, many aspects of their ecology remain poorly understood.
