Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The endosymbiotic bacteria <italic>Wolbachia</italic> can invade insect populations by modifying host reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), an effect that results in embryonic lethality when <italic>Wolbachia</italic>-carrying males mate with <italic>Wolbachia</italic>-free females. Here we describe a transgenic system for recreating CI in the major arbovirus vector <it...
