Wolbachia Transinfection Via Embryonic MicroinjectionZhang, M., Xi, Z., Methods in Molecular Biology, 2739. 2023.
The process of transferring Wolbachia from one species to another to establish a stable, maternally inherited infection in the target species is known as transinfection. The success of transinfection is primarily achieved through embryonic microinjection, which is the most direct ... |
