Past experimentations with these animals showed that they could be affected by environmental conditions and infections, causing interferences on researches. Colonies of mice and rats can be parasitized by ectoparasites. Ectoparasites may interfere with scientific researches, typically exacerbated when the animals are immunosuppressed, however, is not common to cause mortality on mice. The plant known as Delphinium staphisagria has been used for years on the treat of skin wounds caused by insects and other parasites such as scabies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the plant Delphinium staphisagria on
