Abstract excerpt
Endosymbiotic Wolbachia bacteria are widely applied for the control of dengue fever by manipulating the reproductive mechanism of mosquitoes, including maternal inheritance and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI).

At present, CI effect is assumed as a constant in most of dynamic systems for the...
