Real‐Time PCR Assay and Environmental DNA Workflow for Detecting Irukandji Jellyfish, Malo bella (Cubozoa)

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
This paper details the development and validation of a highly sensitive and specific quantitative PCR assay to detect and monitor Malo bella, a venomous Irukandji jellyfish species. Using targeted primers and a TaqMan MGB probe, the assay effectively detects M. bella environmental DNA in water samples.

Nematocyst ratio and prey in two Australian cubomedusans, Chironex fleckeri and Chiropsalmus sp

open access: yes, 2002
This study examined differences in the nematocyst ratios between two species of Australian cubozoans. In Chiropsalmus sp., a species that feeds exclusively on shrimp, no changes in the ratio of the three groups of nematocyst present in the cnidome were ...
