Insights beyond Wolbachia-Drosophila interactions: Never completely trust a model: insights from cytoplasmic incompatibility beyond Wolbachia-Drosophila interactions

There is now no doubt that it is wise to conduct more investigations on a wide range of host-Wolbachia associations before constructing a general model of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Furthermore, the relatively recent identification of the Bacteroidetes bacterium Cardinium as another causative...

Description
Summary:There is now no doubt that it is wise to conduct more investigations on a wide range of host-Wolbachia associations before constructing a general model of cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Furthermore, the relatively recent identification of the Bacteroidetes bacterium Cardinium as another causative agent of CI in arthropods represents a fascinating model for further comparative studies (Hunter et al., 2003).
