Irukandji syndrom: Årsak og forekomst

Innhold i artikkelen

  • Årsak
    • Maneten Carukia barnesi er den eneste som sikkert kan forbindes med denne tilstanden, men også andre kubemaneter mistenkes å kunne gi tilsvarende plager 5-7
  • Forekomst
    • Man ser en reduksjon i antall sykdomstilfeller, men tilstanden er trolig underrapportert4
      • Reduksjonen i antall sykdomstilfeller skyldes trolig bedre beskyttelse av badestrender, utbredelsen av maneter som forårsaker syndromet virker å øke1
    • Irukandji syndrom er mest kjent fra kystområdene langs den nordlige halvdel av Australia8, men det rapporteres om liknende forgiftninger også i andre tropiske farvann9
