Protocol notes
Results
Wolbachia presence	Yes
Confidence level	Low
Explanation of confidence level	There is a band at approximately 438 base pairs. However, there is no second band at 708 base pairs, which signifies that there might have been some kind of mistake in the process. The result might be correct, if the primers simply did not catch onto the cytochromoxidase gene. (Position XJ2)
