▪ Abstract Wolbachia are a common and widespread group of bacteria found in reproductive
tissues of arthropods. These bacteria are transmitted through the cytoplasm of eggs and …

▪ Abstract The α-proteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is a very common cytoplasmic
symbiont of insects, crustaceans, mites, and filarial nematodes. To enhance its transmission …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria are currently being released for
arbovirus suppression around the world. Their potential to invade populations and persist …

IN Drosophila simulans in California, an inherited cytoplasmic incompatibility factor reduces
egg hatch when infected males mate with uninfected females1–7. The infection is spreading …

Abstract In Drosophila simulans a Wolbachia-like microorganism is responsible for reduced
egg-hatch when infected males mate with uninfected females. Both incompatibility types …

The chapters of this book are entitled: the evolution of heritable symbionts; cytoplasmic
incompatibility in insects; inherited microorganisms and sex determination of arthropod …

Heritable microbes represent an important component of the biology, ecology and evolution
of many plants, animals and fungi, acting as both parasites and partners. In this review, we …

In Drosophila simulans a cytoplasmically transmitted microorganism causes reduced egg
hatch when infected males mate with uninfected females. The infection is rapidly spreading …

Microbes of the genus Wolbachia are transmitted by their hosts via the maternal parent and
are responsible for cytoplasmic incompatibility among insect populations. This phenomenon …

The effects of high temperatures, antibiotics, nutrition and larval density on cytoplasmic
incompatibility caused by a Wolbachia infection were investigated in Drosophila simulans …
