MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -While eosinophils are capable of phagocytosis, it is well known that in order for them to kill large parasites such as Strongyloides sp., they must use alternative mechanisms. Eosinophils rely on secreted mediators-cytotoxic granules-to attack and kill parasites [27–30].

Detailed explanation-2: -Eosinophilia is a central feature of the host response to helminth infection. Larval stages of parasitic worms are killed in vitro by eosinophils in the presence of specific antibodies or complement. These findings established host defense as the paradigm for eosinophil function.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eosinophils possess extremely potent mediators that can damage and kill helminth parasites as well as host cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Helminthic infestation and schistosomiasis are the main parasitic causes of eosinophilia.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eosinophils can consume foreign substances. For example, they fight substances related to parasitic infection that have been flagged for destruction by your immune system. Regulating inflammation. Eosinophils help promote inflammation, which plays a beneficial role in isolating and controlling a disease site.
