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

open access: yesGenetics, 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.

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

open access: yesEvolution, 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.

A new model and method for understanding Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.

Cytoplasmic–Nuclear Incompatibility Between Wild Isolates of Caenorhabditis nouraguensis

open access: yesG3: 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.
