Mechanism of action
Diclazuril is a synthetic anticoccidial compound derived from benzeneacetonitrile and belonging to the triazine group. The exact mechanism of action of diclazuril at the molecular level has not yet been fully elucidated; however, it affects various stages of intracellular development of parasites of the genus Eimeria, including certain asexual and sexual stages, thereby disrupting the parasite’s development and multiplication.
By inducing degenerative changes in intracellular stages of the parasite, including schizonts and gametocytes, diclazuril disrupts the life cycle of Eimeria, consequently reducing oocyst formation and shedding. In some stages, disruption of parasite development and normal oocyst wall formation has also been observed.

Target species
Broilers, layers pullets, and turkeys
Indications
DiclaZand® effectively prevents infestation and interrupts the transmission cycle of coccidia in the flock by inhibiting parasite development and reducing oocyst shedding.
DiclaZand® is indicated for the prevention of coccidiosis caused by susceptible Eimeria species, including Eimeria tenella, Eimeria necatrix, Eimeria acervulina, Eimeria brunetti, Eimeria maxima, and Eimeria mitis in chickens, and Eimeria adenoeides, Eimeria meleagrimitis, and Eimeria gallopavonis in turkeys.

Drug interactions
Due to the possibility of cross-resistance between DiclaZand® and toltrazuril (both belonging to the triazine group), concurrent use of these two compounds in poultry should be avoided.
