| Putative identification | Arthropoda Hexapoda Insecta Diptera Culicidae Culex |
Methods |
|
| Extraction kit | DNeasy (Qiagen) |
| DNA extraction location | Abdomen |

| Gel electrophoresis system | MiniOne |
| Buffer | TAE |
| DNA stain | Other |
| Gel images |
|

Results |
|
| Wolbachia presence | No |
| Confidence level | Medium |
| Explanation of confidence level | There is a medium confidence level in the results due to the fact that after PCRing the DNA that would be used to find Wolbachia much of the DNA was lost in the PCR machine. |
| Wolbachia 16S sequence | |
| Arthropod COI sequence |
|
| Summary | The Culex was found to be negative for Wolbachia. |
