MeSH definition : An antiprotozoal agent produced by Streptomyces cinnamonensis. It exerts its effect
during the development of first-generation trophozoites into first-generation schizonts
within the intestinal epithelial cells. It does not interfere with hosts' development
of acquired immunity to the majority of coccidial species. Monensin is a sodium and
proton selective ionophore and is widely used as such in biochemical studies.;
