Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | although the nucleotide sequences proved that the morphology was incorrect, there is more trust in the nucleotide sequence then but because it is only a 98 percent of a match, the remaining 2 percent could be a potential situation where nobody has investigated or experimented with my certain type of anthropod. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Lepidoptera was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
