Nava's research interests are reflected in their focus on parasitology, insect science, infectious diseases, ecology, evolution, and public health.

The scientist has produced a significant number of publications covering various main topics, including:

  • Vector-borne infectious diseases
  • Viral infections and vectors
  • Insect symbiosis and bacterial influences
  • Insect and pesticide research
  • Study of mite species
  • Mosquito-borne diseases and control
  • Insect pest control strategies

Some of Nava's frequent co-authors include:

  • Patrick Sébastian
  • José M. Venzal
  • Nicolás Morel
  • Evelina L. Tarragona
  • Alberto A. Guglielmone

The main publication venues where Nava has contributed the most are:

  • Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
  • Experimental and Applied Acarology
  • Veterinary Parasitology Regional Studies and Reports
  • Medical and Veterinary Entomology
  • Parasitology Research

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Stefano Nava provide insight into their specific research areas. These include:

  • "Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories," 2023, published in Zootaxa
  • "Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Amblyomma ovale, comparative analyses and phylogenetic considerations," 2020, published in Experimental and Applied Acarology
  • "Phylogenetic relationships of the Amblyomma cajennense complex (Acari: Ixodidae) at mitogenomic resolution," 2023, published in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
  • "Resistance of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus to ivermectin in Argentina," 2020, published in Research in Veterinary Science
  • "Ornithodoros cerradoensis n. sp. (Acari: Argasidae), a member of the Ornithodoros talaje (Guérin-Méneville, 1849) group, parasite of rodents in the Brazilian Savannah," 2020, published in Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases

Nava's research contributes to understanding the biology, systematics, and control of arthropod vectors and parasites, focusing on ticks and related mite species. Their work integrates molecular techniques such as mitochondrial genome characterization with ecological and phylogenetic studies.

The spectrum of studies conducted by Nava engages with the dynamics of infectious diseases transmission, resistance to pesticides, and the interaction between vectors and their environments, offering insights relevant to agricultural and public health concerns.
