Abstract
Ocimum sanctum oil (Tulsi oil) used for treatment
of New Zealand white rabbits naturally
infested with Psoroptes cuniculi and compared
with ivermectin based on the healing of wound
and hair growth. Complete healing of infested
ears was noticed in rabbits treated with tulsi oil
and ivermectin, but healing was most rapid in
tulsi oil treated rabbits than those treated with
ivermectin. The crusts in the ear disappeared
within one week and regrowth of hair was
noticed in tulsi oil treated rabbits. In ivermectin
treated rabbits, lesions persisted after one week
of treatment and hair growth was also delayed.
