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.

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. He is currently pursuing an M.S. in Biology at Texas Tech University.
