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
