There are several anticoccidial drugs available for treatment and prevention of coccidiosis in ruminants, both from the class of synthetic drugs (e.g., sulfonamides, amprolium, decoquinate, the triazines diclazuril and toltrazuril) and ionophores (monensin, lasalocid).

In present overview, we are discussing about some anticoccidials used for the prevention and control of coccidial infection by affecting different stages of life cycle of coccidia. The common anticocidials/class of anticoccidoals are ionophores, amprolium, sulphonamides, ethopabate, clopidol and quinolones.

Coccidiosis is a protozoal disease causing diarrhea, ,weight loss and decreased production in poultry. It can be fatal. Prevention is key and is achieved with use of anticoccidials or vaccination. Diagnosis is by fecal flotation to detect oocysts, often in …

Anticoccidial medications can be used in conventional poultry production (not organic poultry production) and commonly are added to poultry feed to prevent coccidiosis. Anticoccidial medications used in poultry feeds include the following examples: amprolium (e.g., Amprol, Corid) decoquinate (e.g., Deccox) diclazuril (e.g., Clinacox)

2019年2月12日 · For sheep and goats exhibiting clinical signs of coccidiosis, there are several treatment options (in the U.S.), including sulfa drugs, tetracyclines, and amprolium [7]. Conventional anthelmintics (dewormers) have no effect on coccidiosis. Amprolium (Corid ®) can be used as both a treatment and preventative for coccidiosis. It is sold in ...

Poultry coccidiosis is controlled by the use of prophylactic feeding of anticoccidial drugs or vaccinating with live coccidia oocysts vaccines. Generally, the drugs have a board species spectrum of activity and are very effective. However, the number of drugs are limited, and resistance is a major issue.

2022年4月1日 · In this review, we describe combinations of anticoccidial drugs that have been used to control coccidiosis including those that inhibit the folic acid pathway, co-factor uptake, electron transport, and ion transport across the parasite cell membrane.

2024年12月1日 · Currently, poultry farms primarily control coccidiosis using vaccines, drugs, and improved management practices (Attree et al., 2021). Disinfectants are used less frequently; those with low efficacy are almost ineffective, while stronger disinfectants can significantly impact both humans and livestock (You, 2014).

A few therapeutic drugs used for treating outbreaks of coccidiosis may affect stages of second- and third-generation schizogony and to a certain degree gamonts (sexual stages) as well; drugs reducing clinical signs of coccidiosis are amprolium, sulfonamides, clazuril, toltrazuril, and combinations of sulfonamides+dehydrofolate reductase ...

Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of a wide variety of animals caused by coccidian protozoa. The coccidia are responsible for major economic losses of the livestock industry. For example, the annual cost due to coccidiosis to the global poultry industry has been estimated to …
