Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | While we did not get a band for Wolbachia, this is not a definitive answer. This could’ve been due to several reasons and mistakes made during the process. Therefore, I cannot be fully confident there was no Wolbachia in my organism. |
