Transgenic expression of cif genes from Wolbachia strain wAlbB recapitulates cytoplasmic incompatibility in Aedes aegypti.

C. J. McNamara, T. H. Ant, T. Harvey-Samuel, H. White-Cooper, J. Martinez, L. Alphey, S. P. Sinkins

This study shows that expressing cifA and cifB genes from Wolbachia strain wAlbB in Aedes aegypti testes induces CI-like sterility, which can be rescued by maternal cifA expression.

High temperature cycles result in maternal transmission and dengue infection differences between Wolbachia strains in Aedes aegypti

M. V. Mancini, T. H. Ant, C. S. Herd, D. D. Gingell, S. M. Murdochy, E. Mararo, S. P. Sinkins

This study examines how high temperature cycles affect Wolbachia density and dengue inhibition in two Aedes aegypti strains, showing differences in maternal transmission and virus blocking capacity between wMel and wAlbB.
