Intra-lineage microevolution of Wolbachia leads to the emergence of new cytoplasmic incompatibility patterns.

Intra-lineage microevolution of Wolbachia leads to the emergence of new cytoplasmic incompatibility patterns.

Mosquitoes of the Culex pipiens complex are worldwide vectors of arbovirus, filarial nematodes, and avian malaria agents. In these hosts, the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), i.e., reduced embryo viability in so-called incompatible crosses. Wolbachia infectin...
