Extract

Sulphaquinoxaline fed at 0·0125%, w/w, in the food principally affects the development of the second generation schizonts of Eimeria adenoeides in turkey poults. Amprolium, at the same concentration, acts on the first generation. Both drugs appear to exert some effect on gametogony. The activity of sulphaquinoxaline against this species is inhibited by p-aminobenzoic acid, and the activity of amprolium by thiamine.

We are grateful to Mrs B. M. Mitchell and Miss C. Hitchcock for technical assistance and to Mr A. D. Speed for the histological preparations.
