摘要

This paper considers the behavior of Wolbachia infection in a dioecious population as a discrete dynamical system. A recurrence relation is obtained as a function of the initial infected male/female frequencies and the cytoplasmic incompatibility of the population. Experimental data from Wolbachia-infected terrestrial isopod populations and a model proposed in Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes from the literature are compared with the proposed system.
