Popis: Strains of species of Eimeria vary in their response to coccidiostatic drugs. This may be due partly to inherent heterogeneity, independent of chemotherapeutic experience. Drug resistance may be induced to most coccidiostats in common use, and failure of prophylaxis may occur in the presence of resistant strains. More information is required on changes in field populations of Eimeria occurring in response to current therapy. Further research is necessary to examine the phenomenon in greater detail and to provide a basis for the assessment of individual drugs in relation to it.
