Asiatische Tigermücke
CI, as described by Werren, results in selection pressure on uninfected males, as infected females can mate both with uninfected males and infected males, but uninfected females cannot mate with infected males. As "Wolbachia" are only transmitted by females, this mechanism promotes the spread of "Wolbachia" and therefore keeps "Wolbachia" from dying out because of incomplete transmission. This has led to discoveries in control of disease transmission by using Wolbachia to control the reproduction of a population by introducing "Wolbachia"-infected males. This has been seen in the Aedes, mosquito, family, in the "Aedes albopictus" and "Aedes aegypti" species.
