Anticoccidials, commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat coccidiosis in food-producing animals, particularly in poultry farming, are associated with potential environmental risks due to their excretion in manure and subsequent land-spreading. Diclazuril, a widely used anticoccidial, has been detected in groundwater, raising concerns about its impact on non-target species. This study investigates the developmental toxicity of diclazuril in zebrafish embryos over a 96-hour exposure period, utilizing biomarkers such as oxidative stress indicators and metabolomic profiles.

Background: The Protozoan pathogen Eimeria is a significant issue in poultry production. Scientists are concerned with finding alternative strategies due to the spread of resistance against the commonly employed coccidiostats. This study examined how well myrrh extract (MyE) protected domesticated pigeons from an experimental Eimeria labbeana-like infection.

Protozoan parasites such as Eimeria tenella and Toxoplasma gondii pose significant health challenges in livestock and humans. The limited treatment options and rising drug resistance underscore the urgent need for new therapies. This study investigates myrcene, a monoterpene hydrocarbon classified for its antiprotozoal potential against E.

is a parasite that causes coccidiosis in a variety of animals, leading to nutritional imbalances, issues with food digestion and absorption, low weight, and intestinal inflammation of varying degrees in its hosts. Anticoccidial medication resistance has become a significant obstacle to disease control efforts, leading to a renewed focus on discovering novel chemicals for alternative therapeutic approaches. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of extract (HpE) in treating eimeriosis in mice.
