Here, there, and everywhere. This cartoon depicts the major findings in recent years regarding the role of LPC on infectious diseases. Here, originally found as a vector, salivary phospholipid able to modulate Chagas disease through the suppression of NO production. There, LPC was recently described as the product of parasite synthesis. Everywhere, several reports have involved LPC on different aspects of parasitic diseases but also a relevant mediator molecule used to subvert the prey by hunting insects. Finally, its role as a major component of snake venom is also shown.
