Nuclear–cytoplasmic incompatibility and inefficient development of pig–mouse cytoplasmic hybrid embryos [PDF]

Reproduction, 2011
Abstract Inter-species somatic cell nuclear transfer (iSCNT) embryos usually fail to develop to the blastocyst stage and beyond due to incomplete reprogramming of donor cell. We evaluated whether using a karyoplast that would require less extensive reprogramming such as an embryonic blastomere or the meiotic spindle from metaphase II ...

Cytoplasmic incompatibility management to support Incompatible Insect Technique against Aedes albopictus [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The transinfection of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia provides a method to produce functionally sterile males to be used to suppress mosquito vectors.

Insect population dynamics under Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility: Puzzle more than buzz in Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
In theory, the introduction of individuals infected with an incompatible strain of Wolbachia pipientis into a recipient host population should result in the symbiont invasion and reproductive failures caused by cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Modelling

Wolbachia divergence and the evolution of cytoplasmic incompatibility in Culex pipiens.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many insect species harbor Wolbachia bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), i.e. embryonic lethality in crosses between infected males and uninfected females, or between males and females carrying incompatible Wolbachia strains.

Cytoplasmic incompatibility in Australian populations of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]

Genetics, 1994
Abstract In Drosophila melanogaster, weak incompatibility in crosses between infected and uninfected strains is associated with a Wolbachia microorganism. Crosses between infected males and uninfected females show a reduction (15-30%) in egg hatch. Progeny tests indicated that the infection is widespread in Australian D.

Should Symbionts Be Nice or Selfish? Antiviral Effects of Wolbachia Are Costly but Reproductive Parasitism Is Not. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Symbionts can have mutualistic effects that increase their host's fitness and/or parasitic effects that reduce it. Which of these strategies evolves depends in part on the balance of their costs and benefits to the symbiont.

Wolbachia-induced unidirectional cytoplasmic incompatibility and speciation: mainland-island model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Bacteria of the genus Wolbachia are among the most common endosymbionts in the world. In many insect species these bacteria induce a sperm-egg incompatibility between the gametes of infected males and uninfected females, commonly called unidirectional ...

ON THE EVOLUTION OF CYTOPLASMIC INCOMPATIBILITY IN HAPLODIPLOID SPECIES [PDF]

Evolution, 2002
The most enigmatic sexual manipulation by Wolbachia endosymbionts is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI): infected males are reproductively incompatible with uninfected females. In this paper, we extend the theory on population dynamics and evolution of CI, with emphasis on haplodiploid species.
