Abstract:
Summary An understanding of most plant virus disease epidemics requires a consideration of the population dynamics of insect vectors
that transmit the viruses and the relationship between vector and disease dynamics. Some simple analytical (continuous-time)
models are proposed for nonpersistently transmitted viruses that center on the absolute
