Effect of DMSO on anticoccidial activity. Bioassays were performed with E. tenella oocysts incubated with different percentages of DMSO (2 and 4 %) and ethyl acetate extract. Neither 2 nor 4 % of DMSO shown any effect on oocysts integrity after 48 h. On the contrary, oocysts treated with ethyl acetate extract showed almost 20 % of integrity after 48 h. This, strongly suggest that DMSO has a negligible effect on oocysts integrity. Significant differences among DMSO 2 and 4 % and ethyl acetate extract are shown with an asterisk; significant differences among DMSO 2 and 4 % and ethyl acetate extract are shown with double asterisk (significance threshold, P < 0.05).
