Biochemical and molecular characterisation of cubozoan protein toxins

open access: yesToxicon, 2009
Class Cubozoa includes several species of box jellyfish that are harmful to humans. The venoms of box jellyfish are stored and discharged by nematocysts and contain a variety of bioactive proteins that are cytolytic, cytotoxic, inflammatory or lethal. Although cubozoan venoms generally share similar biological activities, the diverse range and severity

A rapid and repeatable method for venom extraction from Cubozoan nematocysts

open access: yesToxicon, 2004
Various comparative studies into the biological activity and relative toxicity of cubozoan venoms have been investigated, in particular the venom from the potentially lethal cubozoan Chironex fleckeri. Efficient and reliable extraction of venom from nematocysts is essential before any research into venom toxicity can be conducted and previous cited ...

The use of pressure immobilization bandages in the first aid management of cubozoan envenomings

open access: yesToxicon, 2002
This study is aimed to evaluate whether the application of pressure results in additional release of venom from naturally discharged, vinegar soaked nematocysts of the box jellyfish Chironex fleckeri. The results show that large quantities of venom are expressed with the application of pressures similar to that applied by compression immobilization ...

Experimental validation of the relationships between cubozoan statolith elemental chemistry and salinity and temperature

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2020
Knowledge surrounding the movements of jellyfish is limited, but elemental chemistry has the potential to elucidate these movements. The objective of this study was to experimentally validate elemental chemistry as a technique which may provide insight ...

Cubozoan genome illuminates functional diversification of opsins and photoreceptor evolution [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractAnimals sense light primarily by an opsin-based photopigment present in a photoreceptor cell. Cnidaria are arguably the most basal phylum containing a well-developed visual system. The evolutionary history of opsins in the animal kingdom has not yet been resolved.

Cubozoan crystallins: evidence for convergent evolution of pax regulatory sequences

Evolution & Development, 2008
SUMMARY Cnidaria is the earliest‐branching metazoan phylum containing a well‐developed, lens‐containing visual system located on specialized sensory structures called rhopalia. Each rhopalium in a cubozoan jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora has a large and a small complex, camera‐type eye with a cellular lens containing distinct families of ...
