Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | Done as a school group, could have been contamination between samples. A negative result makes me think not, but it is always possible contamination occurred while inserting gels into the mini one.
|
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Hemiptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
