Methods
Extraction kit DNeasy (Qiagen) blood and tissue kit
DNA extraction location Whole arthropod
Single or Duplex PCR Single Reaction
Gel electrophoresis system Standard electrophoresis system Bio-Rad
Buffer 1X TAE

Protocol notes

Armadillidium vulgare of interest is in the fourth lane from the left. PCR with Wolbachia 16S primers was performed, so the band indicates that the organism was positive for Wolbachia.

Results
Wolbachia presence Yes
Confidence level High
Explanation of confidence level

Controls worked well, band was very visible on gel.
