“…Veel coronavirussen circuleren continu in vleermuizen of ratten en hebben tussengastheren (tabel 1). Dergelijke virussen hebben reeds verschillende grote epidemieën veroorzaakt, wellicht ook de zogenaamde Russische griep, die in 1889-1890 meer dan een miljoen slachtoffers heeft gemaakt (tabel 1) (2,3). Bij het huidige SARS-CoV-2-virus is het nog onduidelijk welke de belangrijkste tussengastheren waren waardoor mens en dier (jakken, honden, katten of varkens) besmet worden (4,5).…”

Vaccination for SARS-CoV-2: a review The present overview describes the various vaccines in use to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease. Their action is based on the natural defense mechanisms of the human body against viral infections. The effectiveness of the vaccines is described and details of the cellular and humoral immune response as measured following infection and following vaccination are reported. The immune response is waning in time. Side effects of vaccination exist, but are minor when compared to COVID-19 disease itself. Due to waning of the antiviral immunity and the continuing emergence of virus variants, regular repeat vaccinations and the development of stronger vaccines, ideally with coverage of an extended antigen spectrum, seem necessary.

Based on archived medical records and evolutionary modelling, a Coronavirus has been hypothesized as root and causative agent of the so-called 'Russian Flu' pandemic that surged in 1889-1890. In a Correspondence published in this volume of Microbial Biotechnology, Ramassy and colleagues try to support historical evidence by true experimental data using 'palaeoserology', a novel approach combining archaeology and modern immunological analysis. This Opinion piece tries to weigh arguments how strong such data may be, and where a refinement of methodology might be desirable before textbooks of medical history switch to call the 1890s pandemic 'Russian Corona'.

Root caries is a subtype of dental caries that predominantly impacts older adults. The occurrence and progression of root caries are associated with the homeostasis of dental plaque biofilm, and microbial synergistic and antagonistic interactions in the biofilm play a significant role in maintaining the oral microecological balance. The objective of the current study was to investigate the role of Veillonella parvula in the microbial interactions and the pathogenesis of root caries. The analysis of clinical samples from patients with/without root caries revealed that Veillonella and V. parvula were abundant in the saliva of patients with root caries. More importantly, a significantly increased colonization of V. parvula was observed in root carious lesions. Further in vitro biofilm and animal study showed that V. parvula colonization increased the abundance and virulence of Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, leading to the formation of a polymicrobial biofilm with enhanced anti‐stress capacity and cariogenicity, consequently exacerbating the severity of carious lesions. Our results indicate the critical role of V. parvula infection in the occurrence of root caries, providing a new insight for the etiological investigation and prevention of root caries.
