| Single or Duplex PCR | Single Reaction |
| Gel electrophoresis system | Standard electrophoresis system |
| Buffer | TAE |
| DNA stain | Other |

Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | High |
| Explanation of confidence level | Positive, negative, and NTC controls worked as expected. Absence of Wolbachia DNA in Hymenoptera sample is consistent with previously collected local prevalence data. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Hymenoptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
