Figure 1

Bi-directional cytoplasmic incompatibility. Bi-directional CI results from incompatible crosses of individuals with different Wolbachia infection types indicated by an X, while individuals with the same Wolbachia type produce offspring with the same maternally inherited infection. The shaded box represents the applied IIT strategy where incompatible males with an introduced Wolbachia infection type are released into a population harboring a natural infection, resulting in sterility.
