Methods

Results

Our confidence level is high because all of our controls worked as expected. In our arthropod gel, all of the wells showed a band except for the arthropod negative control, as expected. In our Wolbachia gel, our positive controls showed a band, whereas our negative controls did not, as expected. We are confident in the diagnosis of this arthropod.
