Wolbachia-mediated cytoplasmic incompatibility is associated with impaired histone deposition in the male pronucleus.

Wolbachia is a bacteria endosymbiont that rapidly infects insect populations through a mechanism known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). In CI, crosses between Wolbachia-infected males and uninfected females produce severe cell cycle defects in the male pronucleus resulting in early embryonic let...
