Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | This is my first time extracting DNA, however I followed the protocols closely and everything went as planned. Arthropod control -A didn’t seem to work -A, +A in wolbachia gels didn’t seem to work |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Isopoda was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
