Inheritance Cube: Wolbachia

This function creates an inheritance cube to model a Wolbachia infection. Wolbachia is a parasite that can infect mosquitoes. It biases its inheritance through cytoplasmic incompatibility.
This drive has 2 alleles at 1 locus:

  • W: has Wolbachia

  • w: does not have Wolbachia

  eta = NULL,
  phi = NULL,
  omega = NULL,
  xiF = NULL,
  xiM = NULL,
  s = NULL
)

Arguments

eta

Genotype-specific mating fitness
phi

Genotype-specific sex ratio at emergence
omega

Genotype-specific multiplicative modifier of adult mortality
xiF

Genotype-specific female pupatory success
xiM

Genotype-specific male pupatory success
s

Genotype-specific fractional reduction(increase) in fertility

Value

Named list containing the inheritance cube, transition matrix, genotypes, wild-type allele, and all genotype-specific parameters.

Details

Cytoplasmic Incompatibility:

  • male W cross female w -> all offspring die (complete penetrance)

  • male w cross female W -> all offspring inherit Wolbachia
