GALVANIC STIMULATION OF LUMINESCENCE IN PELAGIA NOCTILUCA [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Physiology, 1926
1. Pelagia noctiluca responds to galvanic stimulation by a luminescent glow at the anode. If placed near the cathode a secondary glow occurs also on the cathodal side. 2. The luminescent slime of Pelagia when subjected to the galvanic current glows around the cathode.

Regulatory volume decrease in isolated nematocytes is affected by crude venom from the jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca

open access: yesJournal of Biological Research, 2014
Crude venom from nematocysts of the Scyphozoan Pelagia noctiluca possesses hemolytic and cytotoxic power on cultured cells and elicits local and systemic inflammation reactions in vivo.

Dermoscopic Findings of Jellyfish Stings Caused by Pelagia noctiluca

open access: yesActas Dermo-Sifiliográficas, 2016
Jellyfish are free-living members of the phylum Cnidaria who share a specialized stinging cell, the cnidocyte. Pelagia noctiluca is the most frequent and toxic jellyfish species found in the Balearic beaches and cnidocytes are arranged in pigmented clusters called "warts". Dermoscopy continues to expand its use much beyond the pigmentary lesions and to

Back with a bang – an unexpected massive bloom of Cassiopea andromeda (Forskaal, 1775) in the Maltese Islands, nine years after its first appearance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The upside-down jellyfish—Cassiopea andromeda (Forsskål, 1775)—is considered an established alien within the eastern Mediterranean Sea, but the species exhibits a highly sporadic occurrence further west within the basin.

Cytotoxic effect on human keratinocytes of crude extracts from planktonic Cnidaria

open access: yesJournal of Biological Research, 2009
Biotoxin production is a characterizing aspect of the physiology and ecology of several marine organisms. In this study the cytotoxic effect of crude extracts from jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca, Chrysaora hysoscella and Aurelia aurita (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)

Pelagia noctiluca in the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yes, 2013
30 pages, 11 figures, 2 tables Over recent decades, man’s expanding influence on the oceans has begun to cause change in some regions, including in the Mediterranean Sea. New proliferations of jellyfi sh may be occurring in the Mediterranean Sea, possibly in response to the cumulative effects of some of these anthropogenic impacts. In the Mediterranean

Isolation and prepurification of active compounds in venom from Pelagia noctiluca (Scyphozoa: Pelagiidae) from the Caribbean Sea

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2011
Crude extract from Pelagia noctiluca was purified using liquid chromatography. The isolated fractions were tested in sea crabs (Ocypode quadrata) and neurotoxic activity was observed.
