Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. Eosinophils kill a variety of helminth parasites and some protozoan parasites in vitro by antibody-or complement-dependent mechanisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eosinophils possess extremely potent mediators that can damage and kill helminth parasites as well as host cells. It would be surprising if, apart from the damage these mediators can cause during allergic and parasite-induced pathologies, this cell population did not also play a positive role in the immune response.
