Artificial Triple <i>Wolbachia</i> Infection in <i>Aedes albopictus</i> Yields a New Pattern of Unidirectional Cytoplasmic Incompatibility
3 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Obligately intracellular Wolbachia bacteria infect numerous invertebrates and often manipulate host reproduction to facilitate the spread of infection. An example of reproductive manipulation is Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), which occurs commonly in insects. This CI has been the focus both of basic scientific studies of naturally occurring invasion events and of applied investigations on the...
