Cytoplasmic incompatibility and host population structure [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 Many arthropod species are infected by maternally inherited bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI causes embryonic mortality in offspring when infected males mate with either uninfected females or with females that are infected with a different strain of bacteria.

CYTOPLASMIC INCOMPATIBILITY IN POPULATIONS WITH OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS [PDF]
Evolution, 2009 Many insects and other arthropods harbor maternally inherited bacteria inducing "cytoplasmic incompatibility" (CI), reduced egg hatch when infected males mate with uninfected females. CI-causing infections produce a frequency-dependent reproductive advantage for infected females.

Bacterial community and genome analysis of cytoplasmic incompatibility-inducing Wolbachia in American serpentine leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyLiriomyza trifolii, an agricultural pest, is occasionally infected by Wolbachia. A Wolbachia strain present in Liriomyza trifolii is associated with cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) effects, leading to the death of embryos resulting from incompatible ...

Crystal Structures of Wolbachia CidA and CidB Reveal Determinants of Bacteria-induced Cytoplasmic Incompatibility and Rescue [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Wolbachia induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is caused by linked pairs of genes named cifA and cifB. Here, authors show that the residues at interfaces of the CidA-CidB complex is crucial for their binding and contribute to the diversity of CI.

Why Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility is so common. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common reproductive manipulation produced byWolbachia, obligately intracellular alphaproteobacteria that infect approximately half of all insect species. Once infection frequencies within host populations approach 10%, intense CI can driveWolbachiato near fixation within 10 generations.

Dengue control measures via cytoplasmic incompatibility and modern programming tools
Results in Physics, 2021 The vector borne diseases share a high percentage of the annual deaths reported by the world health organization. Due to the involvement of multiple factors and resistance of the vector to the treatment strategies, it is highly desired to design a safe ...

Symbiont-mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility: What have we learned in 50 years? [PDF]
eLife, 2020 Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common symbiont-induced reproductive manipulation. Specifically, symbiont-induced sperm modifications cause catastrophic mitotic defects in the fertilized embryo and ensuing lethality in crosses between ...

Transgenic cytoplasmic incompatibility persists across age and temperature variation in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Summary: Environmental stressors can impact the basic biology and applications of host-microbe symbioses. For example, Wolbachia symbiont densities and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) levels can decline in response to extreme temperatures and host aging.

The Biochemistry of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility Caused by Endosymbiotic Bacteria. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2020 Many species of arthropods carry maternally inherited bacterial endosymbionts that can influence host sexual reproduction to benefit the bacterium. The most well-known of such reproductive parasites is Wolbachia pipientis. Wolbachia are obligate intracellular α-proteobacteria found in nearly half of all arthropod species.
