Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most common symbiont-induced reproductive
manipulation. Specifically, symbiont-induced sperm modifications cause catastrophic mitotic …

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 …

Cytoplasmic incompatibility is a selfish reproductive manipulation induced by the
endosymbiont Wolbachia in arthropods. In males Wolbachia modifies sperm, leading to …

Wolbachia, a maternally inherited intracellular bacterial species, can manipulate host insect
reproduction by cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), which results in embryo lethality in crosses …

Wolbachia are maternally inherited bacteria that infect arthropod species worldwide and are
deployed in vector control to curb arboviral spread using cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI …

Inherited microorganisms can selfishly manipulate host reproduction to drive through
populations. In Drosophila melanogaster, germline expression of the native Wolbachia …

Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that infect nearly half of all arthropod species. This
pandemic is due in part to their ability to increase their transmission through the female …

Maternally transmitted Wolbachia infect about half of insect species, yet the predominant
mode (s) of Wolbachia acquisition remains uncertain. Species-specific associations could …

Wolbachia are maternally transmitted, intracellular bacteria that can often selfishly spread
through arthropod populations via cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI manifests as …

The endosymbiotic Wolbachia is one of the most common intracellular bacteria known in
arthropods and nematodes. Its ability for reproductive manipulation can cause unequal …
