Fig. 5

We used the data obtained for the phenotypic effects of Wolbachia to parametrize the model for each population that fixed the infection under laboratory rearing (parameter values provided in Table S4). Dashed grey lines represent the course of infection frequencies through generations for initial infection frequencies ranging from 0.1 to 0.9. Green line: course of infection that took place in the laboratory following the prediction of the model; Dashed red line: threshold for invasion.
