Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | There is no indication of a second line under the first that will signal in gel electrophoresis that Wolbachia would be present. However, there might be a risk of contamination, as our negative control shows results when it’s not supposed to. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Culex pipiens was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
