Overview

Harry K. Kaya is affiliated with the University of California, Davis in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with notable contributions in Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology. The scientist's work encompasses several subfields, including Insect Science, Plant Science, and Molecular Biology.

The core topics addressed in Kaya's research include Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control, Insect Resistance and Genetics, Nematode Management and Characterization Studies, and Insect Pest Control Strategies.

Frequently collaborating with other researchers, Kaya has notably worked with Mustapha Touray, Şebnem Hazal Gülşen, Harun Çimen, Barış Gülcü, and Derya Uluğ. The recurrent collaboration with these colleagues reflects shared interests in related areas of study.

The scientist has published articles in various academic venues, including Biological Control, Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, and NWSA Academic Journals.

  • Antagonists and defense mechanisms of entomopathogenic nematodes and their mutualistic bacteria (2020), Biological Control
  • Evaluation of different sponge types on the survival and infectivity of stored entomopathogenic nematodes (2020), Journal of Invertebrate Pathology
  • INVESTIGATION OF ENDOHELMINTS OBSERVED IN FISH THAT CAN BE CAUGHT IN THE FIRAT RIVER (KEBAN) (2024), NWSA Academic Journals

This body of work highlights investigations related to nematode biology, insect pathology, and parasite-host interactions within aquatic environments.

Kaya's scientific activity includes a focus on pest control strategies involving entomopathogenic microorganisms, assessing insect resistance mechanisms, and characterizing nematode species relevant to biological control applications. This multidisciplinary approach spans molecular biology techniques and applied agricultural research.
