Eimeria acervulina var. diminuta was serially passaged 12 times in chicken embryos, but growth in cultured chick kidney cells was linmited to 2 generations of schizonts. After 7 embryo passages the sensitivities of E. acervulina var. diminuta and an embryo-adapted strain of E. acervulina var. mivati to the anticoccidial drugs amprolium, methyl parasites were sensitive to all the anticoccidials but E. acervulina var. diminuta was more sensitive to sulphaquinoxaline and amprolium. The chicken-maintained strain of E. acervulina var. diminuta was extremely sensitive to clopidol, sulphaquinoxaline and decoquinate. Electrphoretic analyses of several enzymes from E. acervulina var. diminuta revealed enzyme profiles with similarities and differences to the embryo-adapted strain of E. acervulina var. mivati.

Primary cultures of chick kidney cells convert 25-hydroxycholecalciferol into more-polar metabolites. Cells from vitamin D-deficient chicks have high 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 1 alpha-hydroxylase (1 alpha-hydroxylase) activity, but no 25-hydroxycholecalciferol 24-hydroxylase (24-hydroxylase) activity. Physiological concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxycholeclaciferol suppress 1 alpha-hydroxylase and induce 24-hydroxylase activity. The inhibition of 1 alpha-hydroxylase preceded the induction of 24-hydroxylase. In contrast, oestradiol-17 beta had no effect on the activity of either hydroxylase under a variety of experimental conditions. These results clearly demonstrate that 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, but not oestrogen, acts directly on the kidney cells to regulate the metabolism of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol.
