An elusive endosymbiont: Does Wolbachia occur naturally in Aedes aegypti?
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria found within many insect species. Aedes mosquitoes experimentally infected with Wolbachia are being released into the field for Aedes‐borne disease control.

Symbiont-mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility: What have we learned in 50 years?
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 ...

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.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 BackgroundBiological control programs involving Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti are currently deployed in different epidemiological settings. New Caledonia (NC) is an ideal location for the implementation and evaluation of such a strategy as the only ...

Life and Death of Selfish Genes: Comparative Genomics Reveals the Dynamic Evolution of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility. [PDF]
, 2020 Cytoplasmic incompatibility is a selfish reproductive manipulation induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia in arthropods. In males Wolbachia modifies sperm, leading to embryonic mortality in crosses with Wolbachia-free females.

EVOLUTION OF WOLBACHIA CYTOPLASMIC INCOMPATIBILITY TYPES [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 The success of obligate endosymbiotic Wolbachia infections in insects is due in part to cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), whereby Wolbachia bacteria manipulate host reproduction to promote their invasion and persistence within insect populations. The observed diversity of CI types raises the question of what the evolutionary pathways are by which a new

Vegetative Incompatibility and Cytoplasmic Infection in Fungi [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1972 SUMMARY: The effect of vegetative (heterokaryon) incompatibility on the transfer of a suppressive cytoplasmically determined condition, vegetative death, from carrier to normal strains of Aspergillus amstelodami has been investigated. Cytoplasmic transfer was reduced to 15% by vegetative incompatibility compared with 100% transfer in compatible ...

Wolbachia Infection and Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Drosophila Species [PDF]
Genetics, 1996 Abstract Forty-one stocks from 30 Drosophila species were surveyed for Wolbachia infection using PCR technology. D. sechellia and two strains of D. auraria were found to be infected and were tested for the expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility, along with D. ananassae and D.

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 ...
