Wolbachiasuperinfections and the expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1995 Strains of Drosophila simulans from Riverside, California (DSR) and Hawaii (DSH) harbour distinct strains of the cytoplasmic incompatibility microorganism Wolbachia, resulting in the expression of bidirectional incompatibility when crossed. D. simulans lines carrying both of these (superinfected) Wolbachia strains were generated by the transfer of ...

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 ...

A new model and method for understanding Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria transmitted almost exclusively vertically through eggs. In response to this mode of transmission, Wolbachia strategically manipulate their insect hosts' reproduction.

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.

Wolbachia and cytoplasmic imcompatibility in mosquitoes [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2004 Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that induce cytoplasmic incompatibility in mosquitoes, and are able to use these patterns of sterility to spread themselves through populations. For this reason they have been proposed as a gene drive system for mosquito genetic replacement, as well as for the reduction of population size or for modulating ...

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 ...

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 ...

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
