Wolbachia in the Culex pipiens group mosquitoes: introgression and superinfection.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Walker Thomas, Song Shewu, Sinkins Steven P

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia bacteria in mosquitoes induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), where sperm from Wolbachia-infected males can produce inviable progeny. The wPip strain in the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes produces a complexity of CI crossing types. Several factors are thought to be capable of influencing the expression of CI including Wolbachia strain type and host genotype. In this study, the unidirectional CI...
