Dr. Cammack is the State Extension Specialist for Livestock Entomology & Parasitology, and the principal investigator of the group. He is a native Texan and received his B.S. in Entomology (2007) from Texas A&M University, M.S. in Entomology (2009) from Clemson University, and Ph.D. in Entomology (2013) from North Carolina State University. His interests lie at the intersection of entomology and microbiology, or what has been termed Interkingdom Interactions, particularly in decomposition systems. He is interested in studying how microbes utilize decomposing resources (such as manure, food waste, or carrion) and produce the volatile organic compounds (or smells) that ultimately attract insects such as flies, to consume these resources, and how these interactions are regulated by the nutrient content of the resource. Through studying these systems and interactions, we can develop novel methods for pest management, waste management and recycling, and enhance our understanding of the biology and ecology of insects that are important to livestock and forensic entomology. He is also a Diplomate with the American Board of Forensic Entomology. Research articles authored by Dr. Cammack can be found on his Google Scholar Profile.

Rachel is from Ponder, Texas, and received her B.S. in Entomology (Bioforensic option) with a minor in Pest Management in December 2025 from Oklahoma State University. Her Master's research will focus on a survey of the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of importance to Livestock and Forensic Entomology in the state of Oklahoma.

Kylie is a sophomore from Stillwater, Oklahoma, double majoring in Entomology and Animal Science, with a minor in Rangeland Ecology and Management. After graduation, she wants to get into extension and research as a livestock entomologist with a focus on cattle-related issues. Kylie is a member of Sigma Alpha, the Sanborn Entomology Club (2024-25 Treasurer, 2025-26 President), and the Residential Housing Association at Oklahoma State University.

Kylie is currently working on projects focused on determining the impact of ticks and tick-borne diseases on Oklahoma cattle producers, cataloguing the blister beetles of Oklahoma, and assisting with fly colony maintenance.

Jared completed his B.S. in Entomology with a minor in Pest Management in December, 2025. Prior to attending OSU, Jared served as a medic in the U.S. Army.

Jared is currently pursuing an M.S. in Biology at Texas Tech University under the direction of Dr. Joseph R. McMillan. He will be studying mosquitoes along the rural/urban interface of Lubbock, TX and the surrounding counties, and also assessing insecticide resistance in these mosquito populations.

Connor is from Arlington, Texas and recently graduated with his B.S. in Entomology. Connor has started an M.S. Degree with Dr. Andres Espindola in the Oklahoma State University Institute for Biosecurity and Microbial Forensics, where he will be studying the horizontal transmission of pathogens between bumble bees, sunflower specialist bees, and sunflowers.
