Transcriptome and venom proteome of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 The box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri, is the largest and most dangerous cubozoan jellyfish to humans. It produces potent and rapid-acting venom and its sting causes severe localized and systemic effects that are potentially life-threatening. In this study, a combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify C.

Propulsion in cubomedusae: mechanisms and utility. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Evolutionary constraints which limit the forces produced during bell contractions of medusae affect the overall medusan morphospace such that jet propulsion is limited to only small medusae.

Toxins, 2017 Cnidarian envenomations are the leading cause of severe and lethal human sting injuries from marine life. The total amount of venom discharged into sting-site tissues, sometimes referred to as “venom load”, has been previously shown to correlate with ...

Dose and time dependence of box jellyfish antivenom
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2014 Background The effectiveness of the currently available box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) antivenom has been subject of debate for many years. To assess whether the box jellyfish antivenom has the ability to attenuate venom-induced damage at cellular ...

Bay watch: Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's) to survey the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Biological investigations on free ranging marine species are regarded as challenging throughout the scientific community. This is particularly true for 'logistically difficult species' where their cryptic natures, low abundance, patchy distributions and ...

A pharmacological study of the toxin of a Cnidarian, Chironex fleckeri Southcott [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1969 A study has been made of the pharmacological actions of toxic preparations obtained from the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri Southcott. Two toxin preparations were used. One was a tentacle extract which was partially purified by Sephadex gel filtration; the second was obtained by a process analogous to snake milking, and is probably similar in ...

Natural Antispasmodics: Source, Stereochemical Configuration, and Biological Activity
BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Natural products with antispasmodic activity have been used in traditional medicine to alleviate different illnesses since the remote past. We searched the literature and compiled the antispasmodic activity of 248 natural compounds isolated from terrestrial plants.
