| Protocol notes | We followed all protocol correctly and although most of my group got DNA and Wolbachia, I did have some of each by my bands were very faint and not enough to go into testing. |
Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | Yes |
| Confidence level | Low |
| Explanation of confidence level | My confidence level is low because I was able to get bands to show up for my trial but it was not enough to get tested. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Ormenoides venusta was found to be postive for Wolbachia. |
