Inhibition of Cryptosporidium parvum in neonatal Hsd:(ICR)BR Swiss miceby polyether ionophores and aromatic amidines
Abstract
Cryptosporidicidal effects of two polyether ionophores (maduramicin and alborixin), a fluorinated 4-quinolone (enrofloxacin), and three analogs of pentamidine were evaluated in a suckling mouse bioassay. Treatment with all compounds except enrofloxacin and one of the pentamidine analogs [1,3-di(4-imidazolinophenoxy)propane] resulted in significant (P less than 0.05) reductions in oocyst excretion.
