Extract

The activity of 12 anticoccidial drugs against an embryo-adapted strain of Eimeria tenella has been investigated. After seven and five serial passages respectively, in the presence of drug, resistance was developed to methyl benzoquate and buquinolate. A strain of E. tenella made resistant by exposure to drugs in chickens was resistant to the same drugs when evaluated in infections of chick embryos. This relatively simple technique would appear to offer advantages over existing methods for the study of drug resistance.
