Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eosinophils are particularly involved in the immune response against large extracellular parasites such as helminths because they release granules containing enzymes that damage parasite membranes, and they can also participate in antibody-dependent cytotoxic reactions against parasites. Eosinophils are less effective against intracellular bacteria (e.g., pathogens that can survive and multiply within host cells), viruses, and small bacteria that can be phagocytized by other types of immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages.
