CI, cytoplasmic incompatibility
a
NA, not assessed (as discussed in the text, the rescue potential of different Wolbachia strains against the wYak and wTei modification cannot be validly determined due to the low levels of CI expressed in wYak- and wSan-infected D. simulans STCP lines).
b
ND, these crosses have not been performed in the D. simulans STCP genomic background.
c
Based on previous reports (Poinsot et al. 1998).
d
Based on previous reports (Bourtzis et al. 1998; Merçot and Poinsot 1998a,b).
