Moreover, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus may bind to the sialic acid receptors 9 , an ability which has also recently been described for SARS-CoV-2 10 . In such a way, SARS-CoV-2 could therefore occupy the binding sites of sialic acid on the taste buds, accelerating the degradation of the gustatory particles. Self-reported olfactory and taste disorders in SARS-CoV-2 patients: a cross-sectional study Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions as a clinical presentation of mild-to-moderate forms of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19): a multicenter European study Non-neuronal expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry genes in the olfactory system suggests mechanisms underlying COVID-19-associated anosmia	./cache/cord-355422-c4odhdql.txt	./txt/cord-355422-c4odhdql.txt
