Eosinophils primarily target parasitic infections, but they can also play a role in antiviral defense. They do this by releasing cytotoxic granules containing proteins and enzymes that can damage viral particles and infected cells. Additionally, eosinophils can produce cytokines and other inflammatory mediators that enhance the antiviral immune response and recruit other immune cells to the site of infection. However, their direct role in killing viruses is less prominent compared to other immune cells like T cells and natural killer cells.
