Transgenic expression of <i>cif</i> genes from <i>Wolbachia</i> strain <i>w</i> AlbB recapitulates cytoplasmic incompatibility in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>
2023-09-02
Abstract excerpt
The endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia can invade insect populations by modifying host reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), an effect that results in embryonic lethality when Wolbachia -carrying males mate with Wolbachia -free females. Here we describe a transgenic system for recreating CI in the major arbovirus vector Aedes aegypti using CI factor ( cif ) genes from w AlbB, a Wolbachia stra...
