With 30 years of vertebrate pest management and vector-borne disease research, Genesis Labs chooses not to stand by while the feral hog epidemic continues to grow. We began working on a solution to the growing feral hog problem in 2000. Since then, Genesis has performed primary and secondary toxicological studies for feral hog baits, leading to the nation’s very first feral hog toxicant registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2017.
At Genesis, we offer unsurpassed expertise in avian research. Our staff has studied over 200 species worldwide—ranging from waterfowl to passerines—in a variety of diverse habitats. Our services have included research on endangered species from various regions of the world, as well as management plans for nuisance birds such as Quelia, which damage essential food crops in the Sahel of Africa.
Genesis Laboratories has over two decades of experience working with zoonotic and vector-borne disease surveillance and vector control. Our highly trained and diverse staff of rodent and insect specialists has developed innovative solutions for managing plague, leptospirosis, Lassa fever, leishmaniasis, malaria, and Lyme disease.
Our goal at Genesis is not only to research problems, but to develop solutions. We take the problem at hand, create research protocols, evaluate possible interventions, and develop products that directly address the issue. From concept to implementation, our work bridges the gap between science and application.
Conventional means of tick control have been largely ineffective in reducing instances of human tick-borne disease and environmental concerns arise as a result of the indiscriminate over-application of pesticides. Thus, affective solutions are needed to combat the threat of tick-borne diseases while also reducing environmental risk. Genesis research aims to thread that needle, developing such solutions to tick control.
Our scientists have developed their expertise across more than 60 countries. Genesis has the experience and knowledge to assist in the development and implementation of natural resource management plans. Wildlife populations, when left unmanaged, can grow uncontrollably—threatening species balance and entire ecosystems. Genesis has worked in a range of ecosystems, researching and developing management plans for species such as the African elephant, nutria in U.S. coastal states, and ground squirrel plague reservoirs in the western U.S.
Our Analytical Chemistry Laboratory operates under Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Guidelines as required by USEPA, Directive 98, and OECD. The lab has extensive experience in analytical method development and validation for a wide array of compounds—including anticoagulants, antibiotics, organic and inorganic pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides—in complex matrices such as end-products, biological fluids, tissues, and plants.
