cubeWolbachia function

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

cubeWolbachia(
  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

Returns

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
