Population biology of cytoplasmic incompatibility: maintenance and spread of Cardinium symbionts in a parasitic wasp.
Bacteria that cause cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) are perhaps the most widespread parasites of arthropods. CI symbionts cause reproductive failure when infected males mate with females that are either uninfected or infected with a different, incompatible strain. Until recently, CI was known to be caused only by the alpha-proteobacterium Wolbachia. Here we present the first study of the popul...
متن کاملComparative Genomics Suggests an Independent Origin of Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Cardinium hertigii
Terrestrial arthropods are commonly infected with maternally inherited bacterial symbionts that cause cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). In CI, the outcome of crosses between symbiont-infected males and uninfected females is reproductive failure, increasing the relative fitness of infected females and leading to spread of the symbiont in the host population. CI symbionts have profound impacts on...
متن کاملTranscriptome Sequencing Reveals Novel Candidate Genes for Cardinium hertigii-Caused Cytoplasmic Incompatibility and Host-Cell Interaction
Cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is an intriguing, widespread, symbiont-induced reproductive failure that decreases offspring production of arthropods through crossing incompatibility of infected males with uninfected females or with females infected with a distinct symbiont genotype. For years, the molecular mechanism of CI remained unknown. Recent genomic, proteomic, biochemical, and cell bio...
متن کاملCytoplasmic incompatibility in social insects
In this essay, I briefly summarise reproductive phenotypes associated withWolbachia in insects, present a model of the dynamics of infection frequency for maternally-inherited microorganisms and determine the effect of changing costs associated with incompatibility, infection-related fecundity loss and number of mates in ideal populations of social insects. The model predicts that infections of...
متن کاملTwo new records of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) from Iran
خانواده‌ی Tetranychidae گونه‌های زیادی دارد که همگی آفات محصولات کشاورزی هستند. دو گونه از کنه‌های این خانواده، Eotetranychus uncatus Garman و E. potentillae Begl. et Mitr برای اولین‌بار از ایران گزارش می‌شوند. گونه‌ی اول از شهرستان مراغه روی آلوچه و گونه‌ی دوم از گچسر (واقع در جاده چالوس) روی تمشک در تابستان 1388 جمع‌آوری شد.
