Temperature-sensitive cytoplasmic incompatibility across divergent <i>Wolbachia</i> partly reflects <i>cifB</i> transcription, not endosymbiont density

2026-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Maternally transmitted Wolbachia bacteria are common in insects, with many strains altering host reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI kills embryos fertilized by Wolbachia -bearing males unless those embryos also carry Wolbachia , which favors females with Wolbachia and drives the endosymbiont to higher frequencies in host populations. Strong CI now underpins successful applications that r...
