Wolbachia spp. are maternally transmitted Gram-negative endosymbiotic bacteria. With infection occurring in a wide range of invertebrates, Wolbachia is estimated to infect 65% of insect species and 28% of mosquito species in nature. An early embryo death, a phenotype referred to as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), will occur when infected males mate with uninfected females, or females that carry different type of Wolbachia. CI provides reproductive advantage to infected females, resulting in spread of Wolbachia into mosquito population. Furthermore, Wolbachia can confer mosquito resistant to a variety of human pathogens, including dengue virus, yellow fever virus and malaria parasites. This has led to large efforts to develop Wolbachia-based vector control strategies. One is referred to as population replacement, in which a disease susceptible wild type vector population is modified into a disease resistant population, resulting in blocking of disease transmission. Another is population suppression, in which CI mating is induced in the target population, resulting in suppression, or even eradication of a vector population.
