The only way to treat coccidia is lifelong suppression with drugs like Albon. Coccidia has never been eliminated from an infected frog, but you can stop the coccidia from breeding and therefore stop the frog from passing the disease into its environment. If you are "disinfecting" a tank that has been exposed to coccidia to put non-infected frogs into....STOP. Don't do it. Consider the tank contaminated, and only housed frogs with the same strain of coccidia in it until the end of time. It is the safest (if most disappointing) of the options.
