Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eosinophils are associated with allergic reactions and parasitic infestations. They release cytotoxic granules that destroy parasites or allergenic substances. They make up less than 3% of the leukocyte population and have a short lifespan of around 12 hours. Lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, and basophils are not specifically associated with allergic reactions and parasitic infestations.
