Anti-protozoa agents

Anti-protozoa agents are utilized to treat diseases such as coccidiosis, which affects many farm animals, particularly poultry. Coccidiostats include polyether monocar-boxylic acid ionophores and other types of compounds. Polyether monocarboxylic acid ionophores include monesin, narasin, lasalocid, and salinomycin. The most common of these is salinomycin. Nonionophore coccidiostats include dimetridazole and halofunginone. Stanker et al. reviewed immunoassays available for coccidio-static agents. [Pg.705]

Initially, the term chemotherapy referred to the treatment by means of drugs preventing selectively the development of various kinds of infesting hosts protozoa (amoebas, leishmania, hematozoa, treponema, trypanosoma), microbes, viruses and as a rule all parasites which propagate infectious diseases. In the same context of selective toxicity, the anti-cancer treatments also belong to the class of chemotherapeutic agents. [Pg.39]
