An in-vitro examination of the effect of vinegar on discharged nematocysts of Chironex fleckeri [PDF]

, 2014
Objective: To determine the effect acetic acid (vinegar) has on discharged nematocysts in a simulated sting from Chironex fleckeri. Method: This research was performed in 2 parts: 1. C.

Swimming ability of the Carybdea marsupialis (Cnidaria: Cubozoa: Carybdeidae): implications for its spatial distribution

Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 1, Page 1-10, September 2024.
In this paper we analyzed the swimming speed, effective velocity, effective displacement index (EDI) and proficiency of juvenile to adult specimens (ranging from 1.1 to 36 mm of the diagonal bell width) of the box jellyfish Carybdea marsupialis. Abstract Although usually considered part of the plankton, cubozoans are strong swimmers.

In vitro effects on human heart and skeletal cells of the venom from two cubozoans, Chironex fleckeri and Carukia barnesi

, 2013
Although Chironex fleckeri and Carukia barnesi cause significant human envenomation, research into their effects in human models or human cells has been limited. In this in vitro study we have presented data that shows that although C. fleckeri is highly

Jellyfish Venom-Induced Cardiotoxicity and Immune Responses: Mechanisms and Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Marine Drugs
Jellyfish stings represent a significant global marine hazard, causing injuries from localized skin damage to fatal systemic complications. While skin reactions are the most common symptom, heart toxicity (cardiotoxicity) is the primary cause of death. A

Discriminating populations of medusae (Chironex fleckeri, Cubozoa) using statolith microchemistry

, 2017
The structure of medusae populations is poorly known. Natural geochemical signatures based on elemental composition of calcified structures are a common tool for investigating population structure or connectivity in marine systems.

Identification, cloning and sequencing of the two major venom proteins from box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri

, 2007
Two of the most abundant proteins found in the nematocysts of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri have been identified as C. fleckeri toxin-1 (CfTX-1) and toxin-2 (CfTX-2).

Use of eDNA to Determine Source Locations of Deadly Jellyfish (Cubozoa) in an Open Coastal System

Coasts
Challenges associated with cubozoan jellyfish detection and the limitations of current detection techniques limit the ability of scientists to fill critical knowledge gaps surrounding their ecology. Environmental DNA (eDNA), however, has proven useful as

Elucidation of Medusozoan (Jellyfish) Venom Constituent Activities Using Constellation Pharmacology

Toxins
Within the phylum Cnidaria, sea anemones (class Anthozoa) express a rich diversity of ion-channel peptide modulators with biomedical applications, but corollary discoveries from jellyfish (subphylum Medusozoa) are lacking.
