Results
Wolbachia presence No
Confidence level High
Explanation of confidence level

I am confidence that my insect is negative for Wolbachia because Wolbachia 16S was not found present in this insect’s DNA that we tested through a gel electrophoresis system.  Meaning the only present band was the CO1 band and not the Wolbachia 16S rRNA band.
