In Vitro Antiparasitic Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Sarcocystis Bradyzoites
In vitro, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit dose and time‐dependent antiparasitic activity against Sarcocystis bradyzoites from sheep, achieving up to 59.53% mortality at 800 µg/mL after 120 min. These results suggest AgNPs may be a potential alternative to traditional drugs, meriting further in vivo investigation for veterinary use.
