| Extraction kit | Edwards Buffer |
| DNA extraction location | Whole arthropod |
| Single or Duplex PCR | |
| Gel electrophoresis system | MiniOne |
| Buffer | TBE |
| DNA stain | GelGreen |

| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | not sure about the wolbachia DNA band and arthropod negative control |
