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.

Cytoplasmic–Nuclear Incompatibility Between Wild Isolates of Caenorhabditis nouraguensis
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 How species arise is a fundamental question in biology. Species can be defined as populations of interbreeding individuals that are reproductively isolated from other such populations.

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 ...

Effect of high temperature on Wolbachia density and impact on cytoplasmic incompatibility in confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2022 Objectives Environmental constraints, especially temperature, have been identified as a key in understanding host-symbiont relationships, as they can directly impact the fitness of the symbiont population and the host development.

Diversity and spread of cytoplasmic incompatibility genes among maternally inherited symbionts. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsCytoplasmic Incompatibility (CI) causes embryonic lethality in arthropods, resulting in a significant reduction in reproductive success. In most cases, this reproductive failure is driven by Wolbachia endosymbionts through their cifA-cifB gene pair ...

Wolbachia Inter-Strain Competition and Inhibition of Expression of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Mosquito [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Successful field trials have been reported as part of the effort to develop the maternally transmitted endosymbiontic bacteria Wolbachia as an intervention agent for controlling mosquito vectors and their transmitted diseases. In order to further improve

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.
