Parvaquone is an antiprotozoal agent used primarily in veterinary medicine. It has gained prominence in treating a fatal disease called East Coast Fever found in cattle 12. Here are some key points about parvaquone:

• Mechanism of Action: Parvaquone is effective against Theileria annulata, a protozoan parasite causing East Coast Fever. It appears to act by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation in the parasite, disrupting its energy production 1.
