Incompatible crosses between Wolbachia-infected wild type males and uninfected Smg534Eb-2 females show a higher egg hatch rate (40%) relative to controls (26-30%).
The testes of Smg534Eb-2 homozygous males or Smg534Eb-2/Smg534Eb-1 males are extremely variable in appearance. Most are small with few elongated spermatids, no individualised sperm, and degeneration of variable extent.
