Abstract: It had became a trend that the research of disease-resistant breeding which were to reduce disease losses, improve the quality of livestock and poultry products, implement pollution-free production with the development of molecular biology and genetic engineering. The article summarized on the current status of the prevention of avian coccidiosis, the research and development of coccidiosis prevention of drugs and vaccines and especially on the progress of coccidiosis-resistant breeding. Although the major prevention of coccidiosis was still drugs and vaccines currently, in the long run, nurturing the new disease-resistant varieties or new lines of chicken by coccidiosis-resistant breeding would become the new way for disease prevention and control.

Key words: avian coccidiosis; drugs; vaccines; disease-resistant breeding
