Wolbachia-Induced Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Single- and Superinfected Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae)
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
Maternally inherited bacteria of the genus Volbachia can cause cytoplasmic incompatibility resulting in the developmental arrest of early embryos. Previous studies have shown that both single- and superinfections of Wolbachia naturally occur in populations of Aedes albopictus (Skuse). Here, we report crossing experiments using three infection types occurring in Ae. albopictus: uninfected, single-infected, and...
