The primary function of red blood cells is not actually to fight diseases. Red blood cells transport oxygen to the different parts of the body. The white blood cells are in charge of disease fighting.
White blood cells fight disease; there are several types of white blood cell, but all come under the umbrella term of 'leukocytes'. Each type of leukocyte works on a different threat, or in a different way, but one type chemically poisons bacteria to kill them, & another type wraps itself around a bacteria & carries it away in the bloodstream.
****************
Sorry to disagree, but not all white blood cells are leukocytes. Leukocytes are B-cell, T-cell, and Natural Killer cells which are involved in acquired immunity (you develop it after being born).
Macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, oesinophils, and basophils are phagocytes (innate immunity-you are born with them), which engulf the pathogen and either kill it right away or signal to leukocytes that a pathogen is present (antigen presenting cells).
The white blood cells help the body to fight disease. (-;
