“…In experimental inoculation, this drug has shown a good anticoccidial activity compared to monensin and salinomycin (Mahmood et al, 2001). In addition, ionophores exhibit an antibacterial activity and reduce the pathogenic enteric bacterial populations such as clostridia that cause infections predisposing to coccidiosis (Chapman et al, 2002).…”

The present work was conducted to evaluate the effect of prophylactic treatments using an ionophore anticoccidial (lasalocid sodium, 100 ppm) and a prebiotic (beta-glucans and oligosaccharides, 0.5 ppm) on coccidiosis and immune reactions against it in experimentally infected broiler chickens. A total of 120 chicks were equally divided into four groups. The first group (A) served as control and received the basal diet with no additives, while the other groups (B, C and D) served as tests and their birds were given the basal diet supplemented respectively with an anticoccidial (Avatec ® ), a prebiotic (Alphamune ® ) or a combination of them. Coccidiosis was induced in broiler chickens using a mixture of E. acervulina and E. maxima at the 14th day of age. By the end of the experimentation, better health condition and production performances were recorded in birds of the last group (D), in which a decrease in coccidia replication and lesional scores were found in association with low oocysts shedding kinetics and a stimulated immune system (increased lymphoid organs weights, indices and a bigger number of lymphocytes). Our findings confirm the effectiveness of the prebiotic-anticoccidial combination in the control of coccidia infections in broiler chickens.

“…This transitory early reduction in growth has been noted under commercial conditions and is a known drawback associated with vaccinating for coccidiosis (Chapman et al, 2002;Parker et al, 2007). During both feeding periods, BW was affected by the presence of Eimeria spp., where unchallenged birds weighed an average of 28 and 47 g more (P＜0.05) than challenged birds during each period, respectively.…”

“…They enhance the natural immunity of the chicken by recycling very low doses of coccidial oocysts (Chapman et al, 2002;Williams, 1998Williams, , 2002Williams, , 2003. The drawback to live vaccination is that it can lead to reductions in early growth, which is generally associated with increased incidence of secondary enteritis (Chapman et al, 2002).…”

“…The alternative, therefore, was to improve vaccine uptake; this has been achieved through the introduction of efficient methods such as feed/water administration, spray, or gel pucks. 38,50 Another complexity with these vaccines is the relative antigenic diversity that is observed in geographically distinct species of Eimeria. Long and Millard 51 reported immunological differences in E. maxima, the most antigenically diverse species.…”

Coccidiosis, caused by parasites of the genus Eimeria, is probably the most expensive parasitic disease of poultry. Species of Eimeria are ubiquitous where poultry are raised and are known to cause drastic reductions in performance and induce mortality, thereby affecting the overall health status of poultry. Chemotherapy has been the predominant form of disease control for many years, even though vaccination is steadily gaining importance as a feasible control method. The objective of this review is to highlight recent advancements in understanding the role of host immunity against coccidiosis. In addition, pros and cons associated with chemotherapy and the role of vaccination as an increasingly popular disease control method are discussed. Finally, the role played by recombinant vaccines as a potential vaccination tool is highlighted. With interest growing rapidly in understanding host-parasite biology, recent developments in designing recombinant vaccines and potential epitopes that have shown promise are mentioned.
