The UC Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center (KARE) is a world-class research operation in the heart of Californias San Joaquin Valley from which flows a steady stream of practical ideas and solutions ready for implementation by the region's farmers.

The Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center provides project management and support for applied research on agricultural and environmental issues.

Physical plant's primary mission is the construction management, operation and maintenance of all Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center buildings grounds and facilities. Our unit provides highly skilled technicians and support staff that respond to emergency service calls 24/7.

gambiae polytene chromosome spread Years of research in Africa done by Lanzaro and I confirm our view that gene flow between Anopheles gambiae molecular forms known as Savanna and Forest M and S forms is not consistent in both time and space which makes distinguishing and naming these forms a dynami...

Culex quinquefasciatus Cx. quinquefasciatus, Cx. pipiens, and Cx. pipiens molestus members of the Cx. pipiens complex have undergone enormous adaptations and expansions into urban and peri-urban environments worldwide.

Sentinel cages used in ground ULV trials- open field Since we discovered a population of Cx. pipiens s.l. resistant to pyrethroids (Cornel et al 2000) we have followed up with ad hoc susceptibility testing.

Work is ongoing with Professor Leal (Department Entomology and Nematology, UC Davis- ) as the PI who is an expert in chemo reception to tease apart the mechanisms (genetic and biochemicals) of chemo receptive pathways that mosquitoes have evolved to detect hosts for blood meal engorgement and to sel...
