Abstract

The mechanism of symbiont-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) has been a long-standing mystery. A new study on Wolbachia’s Cif proteins in PLOS Biology provides supportive evidence for the “Host modification model,” although the alternative “Toxin–antidote model” is still in the running.

This Primer explores a new study on Wolbachia’s Cif proteins in PLOS Biology that provides supportive evidence for the “Host-Modification Model,” although the alternative “Toxin-Antidote Model” is still in the running.
