Abstract
⺠Culex quinquefasciatus from São Paulo, Brazil, was naturally-infected with Wolbachia. ⺠Females were disinfected with tetracycline and yielded progenies without Wolbachia. ⺠Disinfected females laid more eggs and eggs with higher viability. ⺠Disinfected females laid eggs later and its longevity was lower. ⺠The crossing: disinfected females à infected males was reproductively incompatible.
