Özet

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 popu-
lations and a model proposed in Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes from the literature
are compared with the proposed system.This paper considers the behavior of Wolbachia infection in a dioecious population
