This is all pretty standard textbook immunology. Providing sources would be a bit like citing Newton when mentioning gravity. In the innate (first responder) system, inflammation is used as a first line of defense (which can also be detrimental), but the mechanism used depends on the target. White blood cells called eosinophils largely respond to macroparasites like worms (although they also play a secondary role in viral infection). Bacteria and fungi are largely dealt with a different cell type, neutrophils, and virus infected cells by natural killer (NK) cells. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eosinophil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrophil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_killer_cell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_killer_cell
