Overcoming cytoplasmic incompatibility in Drosophila

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998
The endocellular microbe Wolbachia pipientis infects a wide variety of invertebrate species, in which its presence is closely linked to a form of reproductive failure termed cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI renders infected males unable to father offspring when mated to uninfected females.

Assessment of fitness and vector competence of a New Caledonia wMel Aedes aegypti strain before field-release.

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 ...

Infection of Gammarus duebeni populations by two vertically transmitted microsporidia; parasite detection and discrimination by PCR–RFLP [PDF]

, 2002
We screened a population of the brackish water crustacean Gammarus duebeni from the Isle of Cumbrae for the presence of vertically transmitted microsporidia.

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.

Mod/Resc Parsimony Inference [PDF]

, 2010
We address in this paper a new computational biology problem that aims at understanding a mechanism that could potentially be used to genetically manipulate natural insect populations infected by inherited, intra-cellular parasitic bacteria.

Cardinium symbionts cause cytoplasmic incompatibility in spider mites [PDF]

Heredity, 2006
Intracellular symbiotic bacteria belonging to the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides lineage have recently been described and are widely distributed in arthropod species. The newly discovered bacteria, named Cardinium sp, cause the expression of various reproductive alterations in their arthropod hosts, including cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI ...

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

Does pupal communication influence Wolbachia -mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility? [PDF]

Current Biology, 2017
Wolbachia are widespread endosymbiotic bacteria found in terrestrial arthropods and filarial nematodes [1]. In insects, Wolbachia generally rely on diverse strategies to manipulate their host's reproduction and favor their own vertical transmission through infected eggs [2]. One such mechanism is a sterility syndrome called 'cytoplasmic incompatibility'

Deep mtDNA divergences indicate cryptic species in a fig-pollinating wasp [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Figs and fig-pollinating wasps are obligate mutualists that have coevolved for ca 90 million years. They have radiated together, but do not show strict cospeciation.

Facilitating Wolbachia introductions into mosquito populations through insecticide-resistance selection. [PDF]

, 2013
Wolbachia infections are being introduced into mosquito vectors of human diseases following the discovery that they can block transmission of disease agents.
