Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Low |
| Explanation of confidence level | I am not confident that the arthropod did not have Wolbachia even when testing negative for it due to the main test results being inconclusive and unviable in reading. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Armadillidae was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
