The purpose of the present paper is to study the presence of bifurcations of zero-Hopf type at a generalized Genesio differential equation. More precisely, by transforming such differential equation in a first-order differential system in the three-dimensional space R3, we are able to prove the existence of a zero-Hopf bifurcation from which periodic trajectories appear close to the equilibrium point located at the origin when the parameters a and c are zero and b is positive.
