ABSTRACT:
A method for the rapid and reliable in vitro determination of the anticoccidial activity of chemotherapeutic agents. The invention involves incubating free-living sporozoites in a nutrient medium in the presence of the anticoccidial agent being assessed and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. Living sporozoites reduce the above compound to the water-insoluble vivid-red formazan pigment but will not stain with trypan blue; dead sporozoites do not form this red pigment but will stain with trypan blue.
