The effect of 'Alcide' on 4 strains of rodent coccidial oocysts

The effect of 'Alcide' on oocysts of 2 species of Eimeria from rats and 2 from mice was investigated. E. pragensis oocysts survived 24 h contact with the chemical, but those of the other species were inactivated. Periods of exposure of less than 2 1/2 h did not inactivate oocysts of any Eimeria species.
