Abstract

The endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia that occurs commonly in arthropods, often manipulate host reproduction through cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). The crosses between Wolbachia infected and uninfected uzi fly Exorista sorbillans populations (cured with antibiotic oxytetracycline) indicated strong CI, signifying their role in host reproduction. Significant reduction in brood hatch and increased sterility was observed.
