Egg fertility (when Ae. albopictus BN females were crossed with Ae. albopictus males ARwPBN, ARwPBA, and BN). BN: wild strain of Ae. albopictus from Barcelona colonized in Valencia (Spain); ARwPBN: wild strain of Ae. albopictus from Barcelona (Spain) infected with Wolbachia wPip from ARwPL through hybridization; ARwPBA: aposymbiotic strain of Ae. albopictus obtained in Valencia from the wild strain of Barcelona and then infected with Wolbachia wPip from ARwPL through hybridization. Error bars show the SEM of three biological replicates. The mean egg fertility was found to differ significantly between crosses by one-way ANOVA.
