An anticoccidial disinfection formulation containing a compound represented by general formula (I) below as an active ingredient:
R.sub.1—N═C═S   (I)
[In formula (I), R.sub.1 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms or the like] This compound has a high sporulation inhibitory activity against coccidian oocysts and is thus effective for eradicating coccidians and for disinfecting rearing facilities and rooms of host animals, such as a livestock barn and a poultry house.

A natural antibacterial and antiviral biological composition is provided for use in hospitals and homes, in particular a composition that includes ricinoleic acid derived from the extraction of castor oil, diethanolamine and propolis, a method for obtaining the composition, and the use thereof. The invention can be used to control various pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria belonging to the Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter and Bacillus genera; as well as hospital-environment fungi (filamentous and yeast-like) and phytopathogenic fungi (Colletrotichum fragariae). The product can be sprayed on biotic and abiotic surfaces, and non-woven fabric can subsequently be used to remove organic matter, including microorganisms. The product can also be used to disinfect medical, dental and hospital items by immersion followed by quick rinsing.
