RESUMO

In the 20th century, with the sprouting of laboratory animal science, it became undeniable that the quality of the experimentation animal exerts direct influence on the research quality. The model s health is one of the variables that more direct1y defines its quality. It s up to the researcher to validate the results of his work and for that it is necessary to have full knowledge about the parasites that could affect the laboratory animal colonies, with the purpose of vigilance and control, minimizing the interferences in the experimental results.The present work produced a data compilation on the main parasites of laboratory mice, aiming at the creation of a study source for researchers, technicians and students.Recognizing that the traditional teaching in Parasitology confers some specific difficulties to the student and to the teacher, demanding abstraction moments of both parts, the present work deals with the development of a software that functions as auxiliary tool to the teacher, from which it is possible to bring to the student a global and articulated vision of the studied dynamic phenomena. Graphical animations in three-dimensional environment have been created, illustrating the life cyc1e or morphology of the parasites: Cryptosporidium parvum and C. muris, Giardia muris, Tritrichomonas muris, Spironucleus muris, Syphacia obvelata, Myocoptes musculinus and Myobia musculi.The description of the created software, its evaluation and use perspectives arepresented here
