EDITORIAL
On behalf of the editors of mBio, I gratefully acknowledge the following individuals, who served as invited editors for the journal in 2016. While not members of the Board of Editors, invited editors serve an important role in the review process. Invited editors are experts in their fields of research who add an additional level of quality to the review process. An editor may assign a paper to an invited editor when he/she would like to have an additional expert opinion of the reviews or when the subject area falls outside the editor’s primary area of expertise.
The time and effort of the following experts in handling articles have been essential to ensuring the high quality of our publications, and their help is greatly appreciated.
