One prophage WO gene rescues cytoplasmic incompatibility in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>

2018-04-13

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are maternally-inherited, intracellular bacteria at the forefront of vector control efforts to curb arbovirus transmission. In international field trials, the cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) drive system of w Mel Wolbachia is deployed to replace target vector populations, whereby a Wolbachia – induced modification of the sperm genome kills embryos. However, Wolbachia in the embryo rescue the sperm g...
