Background: , and most commercial disinfectants show limited efficacy against its oocysts, underscoring the need for improved control strategies. Aims: oocysts. Materials and Methods: excystation assay was applied to assess viability. Results: oocyst inactivation has yielded varying results. Limewater alone caused a significant decline in the total number of normal oocysts (i.e., >50%). Notably, no potentially viable oocysts were observed after sensitization with Tanabesol diluted in calcium hydroxide solution for 120 min, compared with using water as the diluent. Tanabesol with limewater reduced the viability percentage of oocysts to 30% and prevented sporozoite release by more than 84%. Conclusion: Adding calcium hydroxide to the preparation of Tanabesol should help in the control and prevention of cryptosporidiosis in livestock farms.
