Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | A single PCR test for the first time using one is most definitely prone to faults occurring. Arthropod control -A didn’t seem to work -A, +A control in Wolbachia gels didn’t seem to work |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Formicidae was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
