What does your operation need right now?
Pick your profile, then the challenge you're facing, and we'll take you to the Cucare service that fits your case.
Step 1 · Your profile
Step 2 · Your need (BSF, mealworm, cricket and other mass-reared species)
Step 3 · Recommended service
Insect disease diagnosis & management
We screen your colony for pathogens, quantify their load and map the microbial community, so you can contain an outbreak before it spreads and keep the loss to one batch.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Pathogen risk assessment
An on-site evaluation of your facility, handling practices, feed and water management and biosecurity, with critical control points, cleaning protocols and a tailored action plan.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Genetic optimization
Selective breeding programmes and precision genetic engineering — next-generation editing or conventional breeding — for Black Soldier Fly, Lepidoptera and other commercial species.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Insect-species identification
Classical taxonomy by trained entomologists, confirmed with DNA barcoding or targeted sequencing, resolving the cases where visual identification is ambiguous.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Insect microbiome characterization
High-throughput sequencing profiles the composition and diversity of your insects' microbial communities, with ready-to-use results and interpretation for labs without bioinformatics expertise.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Scientific consultancy
Data-driven guidance on colony health management, genetic improvement programmes, pest management and production efficiency — for a single project or as ongoing advice.
Step 2 · Your need (apiary operation or bee health)
Step 3 · Recommended service
Pathogen detection & management
Pathogen screening and colony health diagnostics for apiaries: early detection, identification and containment strategies that safeguard colony viability.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Apis mellifera hybridization analysis
Molecular tools and genetic markers determine whether your colonies are pure or derive from a mixture of lineages — essential for selective breeding and for conserving local populations.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Performance of bioassays
Pollinator-safety testing on candidate compounds, run to the standards regulators and manufacturers expect, so you know what a product does to your bees before it reaches the hive.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Pesticide resistance analysis
Detection of the resistance mechanisms behind treatments that stop working in mites and pests, so you can rotate chemistries and target what still has an effect.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Scientific consultancy
Data-driven guidance on colony health, genetics and treatment strategy — for a single project or as ongoing advice from the scientists who run the assays.
Step 2 · Your need (crops, livestock or stored product)
Step 3 · Recommended service
Pesticide resistance analysis
Detection of resistance mechanisms in insect and mite pest populations affecting agricultural, livestock and apiculture operations, so you can deploy targeted treatments and rotate chemistries effectively.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Performance of bioassays
Comprehensive testing to support the development and regulatory evaluation of pesticides: pest-control efficacy of candidate compounds and pollinator safety for beneficial insects such as bees.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Insect-species identification
Classical taxonomy by trained entomologists, confirmed with DNA barcoding or targeted sequencing — because the right treatment starts with knowing exactly what you are treating.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Scientific consultancy
Data-driven guidance on pest management, resistance strategy and production efficiency — for a single project or as ongoing advice.
Step 2 · Your need (pesticide or biopesticide development)
Step 3 · Recommended service
Performance of bioassays
Comprehensive testing to support the development and regulatory evaluation of pesticides: pest-control efficacy of candidate compounds and pollinator safety for beneficial insects such as bees — reliable data you can build a registration on.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Pesticide resistance analysis
Detection of resistance mechanisms in insect and mite pest populations across agricultural, livestock and apiculture operations — the field data behind product positioning and resistance-management plans.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Scientific consultancy
Data-driven guidance for technical and R&D departments: assay design, resistance strategy and interpretation — for a single project or as ongoing advice.
Step 2 · Your need (academic group in entomology or biotech)
Step 3 · Recommended service
Insect microbiome characterization
High-throughput sequencing profiles the composition and diversity of insects' microbial communities, with ready-to-use results and interpretation guidance for labs without in-house bioinformatics expertise.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Genetic services
Species identification by DNA barcoding or targeted sequencing, genetic optimization and hybridization analysis — run by researchers who publish in the field.
Step 3 · Recommended service
Scientific consultancy & collaboration
A spin-off of the University of Valencia: we take part in joint projects, grant proposals and applied studies, pairing academic rigour with the responsiveness of an agile lab.
