Trying to learn how different blood cells defend against parasites for a story I’m writing and I’m having trouble finding simple explanations for them. I don’t know a lot about terminology used for different types. Particularly I’m looking for stuff based on eosinophils since I’ve heard they have a hand in it. Regardless anything helps thank you. Thank you.

White blood cells are an important part of the immune system. They help the body to fight off infections by bacteria and viruses. There are different types of white blood cells, each with a different role.
One type of white blood cell is the neutrophil. Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cell. They help to protect the body against bacteria and other foreign invaders.
Another type of white blood cell is the lymphocyte. Lymphocytes help to fight off viruses and other infections. They also help to make antibodies, which are proteins that fight off infections.
The last type of white blood cell is the monocyte. Monocytes help to remove dead and damaged cells from the body. They also help to fight off infections.
