Cold packs: effective topical analgesia in the treatment of painful stings by Physalia and other jellyfish.
A study has shown that, when applied to Physalia ("bluebottle") jellyfish stings, cold packs are effective as topical analgesia in the relief of mild-to-moderate skin pain. The application of ice also has been shown to be effective for topical analgesia in a number of other jellyfish stings, including by Cyanea ("hair jellyfish"), Tamoya sp. ("Moreton Bay stinger" or "fire jelly") and Carybdea ...
متن کاملA novel protein toxin from the deadly box jellyfish (Sea Wasp, Habu-kurage) Chiropsalmus quadrigatus.
The deadly box jellyfish (Sea Wasp, Habu-kurage in Japanese) Chiropsalmus quadrigatus Haeckel (Cubozoa) is distributed widely in the tropical Pacific region. In Japan, three fatal cases due to stings from this species have been reported officially. We successfully isolated C. quadrigatus toxin-A (CqTX-A, 44 kDa), a major proteinaceous toxin, for the first time, from the nematocysts of C. quadri...
متن کاملSHORT COMMUNICATION Salinity effects on asexual reproduction of Carybdea sp. (Cnidaria: Cubozoa)
Medusa production in cubozoans may be associated with reduced-salinity waters. Asexual reproduction of Carybdea sp. differed at different salinities. The metamorphosis of Carybdea sp. polyps into medusae was accelerated at low salinity (32), while more polyps were budded from the original polyp at the highest salinity (38), probably due to prolonged metamorphosis. High-nutrient river discharge ...

We have isolated and characterized a novel hemolytic protein from the venom of the Hawaiian box jelly®sh (Carybdea alata). Hemolysis of sheep red blood cells was used to quantitate hemolytic potency of crude venom extracted from isolated nematocysts and venom after fractionation and puri®cation procedures. Hemolytic activity of crude venom was reduced or lost after exposure to the proteolytic e...
متن کاملCarybdea marsupialis (Cubozoa) in the Mediterranean Sea: the first case of a sting causing cutaneous and systemic manifestations.
A woman stung by the box jellyfish Carybdea marsupialis (Cnidaria, Cubozoa) at a Spanish Mediterranean beach showed systemic manifestations over several months [pain far from the inoculation point, arthralgia, paresthesia, hyperesthesia, increase in eosinophils and immunoglobulin E (IgE)] in addition to the skin condition.
