eLife, 2019 Intracellular Wolbachia bacteria manipulate arthropod reproduction to promote their own inheritance. The most prevalent mechanism, cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), traces to a Wolbachia deubiquitylase, CidB, and CidA.

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.

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.

Endosymbiotic Rickettsiella causes cytoplasmic incompatibility in a spider host. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 Many arthropod hosts are infected with bacterial endosymbionts that manipulate host reproduction, but few bacterial taxa have been shown to cause such manipulations.

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.

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 ...

The impacts of cytoplasmic incompatibility factor (cifA and cifB) genetic variation on phenotypes. [PDF]
Genetics, 2021 Wolbachia are maternally transmitted, intracellular bacteria that can often selfishly spread through arthropod populations via cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI).

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.

Cardinium Localization During Its Parasitoid Wasp Host’s Development Provides Insights Into Cytoplasmic Incompatibility [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Arthropods harbor heritable intracellular symbionts that may manipulate host reproduction to favor symbiont transmission. In cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), the symbiont sabotages the reproduction of infected males such that high levels of offspring ...

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 ...
