The cellular phenotype of cytoplasmic incompatibility in Culex pipiens in the light of cidB diversity.
Wolbachia are maternally inherited endosymbiotic bacteria, widespread among arthropods thanks to host reproductive manipulations that increase their prevalence into host populations. The most commonly observed manipulation is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). CI leads to embryonic death in crosses b...
