Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | DNeasy (Qiagen) |

Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Low |
| Explanation of confidence level | Our confidence level is low due to the failure of the controls. The – Wolbachia control did show a positive band which likely means that there was cross contamination between the samples. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Arthropoda was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
