A cell-based assay for screening of antidotes to, and antivenom against Chironex fleckeri (box jellyfish) venom

open access: yes, 2009
Introduction: Chironex fleckeri is a large box jellyfish that has been labelled the ‘most venomous animal’ in the world. We have recently shown that the primary effect of C. fleckeri venom in vivo is cardiovascular collapse.

open access: yes, 2015
[Extract] Only Chironex fleckeri (box jellyfish) and Carukia barnesi ('classic' lrukandji jellyfish) have been documented to cause deaths in Australian waters, with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) attributing 80 deaths to C. fleckeri, and 2 to

A study of the biological activity of toxic material derived from nematocysts of the cubomedusan Chironex fleckeri

open access: yes, 1969
Nematocysts of the cubomedusan Chironex fleckeri have been isolated in quantity. Five types of nematocyst were distinguished. Protein, carbohydrate, cystine-containing compounds and 3-indolyl derivatives were detected in all types of nematocyst.

Isolation and Characterization of Seven Polymorphic Microsatellite Loci in the Box Jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri, Cubozoa, Cnidaria)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Notes, 2006
Population structure and migration patterns for the highly venomous cubozoan box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) are unknown. We describe the development of seven polymorphic microsatellites for this species, the first such loci to be characterized for any

Warmer Waters in the Northern Territory-Herald an Earlier Onset to the Annual Chironex fleckeri Stinger Season

open access: yesEcoHealth, 2010
The discovery that Chironex fleckeri occurs annually in northern Australia occurred long ago, possibly before written records were available by local indigenous people, however, to date the precision of this yearly phenomenon is still not fully ...

Toxins from the box-jellyfish Chironex fleckeri

Toxicon, 1993
Two myotoxins (T1 and T2) with mol. wts of approximately 600,000 and 150,000, respectively, and a haemolysin (T3) with a mol. wt of approximately 70,000 were isolated from the crude nematocyst venom of C. fleckeri by the use of Sephadex G-200 chromatography. A neurotoxic fraction (T4) and a haemolytic fraction (T5) containing proteins with apparent mol.

Purification of Chironex fleckeri venom components using Chironex immunoaffinity chromatography

Toxicon, 1988
A comparison of the purification of the nematocyst venom of Chironex fleckeri by affinity immunochromatography using 13 different monoclonal antibodies was made. Varying degrees of purification of mouse lethal factor, hemolysin and dermonecrotic factors, as well as antigen positive proteins were achieved with each of the monoclonal antibodies. Although

Immunity to the venom of the sea wasp Chironex fleckeri

Toxicon, 1968
Abstract The venom of the sea wasp, Chironex fleckeri, was investigated for antigenicity in rabbits and mice. Neutralizing antibody was produced in rabbits which would passively protect mice against the lethal property of the venom, but was ineffective in protecting against the necrotic effect, although it neutralizes this factor in vitro.
