Overview

Our mission in the Entomology program at University of Kentucky is to improve the quality of human life and protect our environment through a better understanding of insects and related arthropods. Within the department, we strive for a creative synergy between fundamental and applied entomological research, developing long-term solutions to entomological problems, while providing answers that address immediate short-term problems.

Features

We have a strong integration of research, extension, and graduate education.

The department’s response to critical entomological problems; e.g., the world-wide outbreak of bed bugs, pollinator decline, emerald ash borer, and Zika virus demonstrate how we respond to critical needs within the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the nation, and the world.
