ALT A figure from the paper, with three plots. The left plot shows the proportion of infected plants over time, showing that having trap (attractive) or repellent companion plants decreases disease incidence compared to basic companions or no control. The centre plot is number of uni-infective aphids over time, showing how the number of aphids is decreased for repellent companions, but increased for trap companions. The right plot is the number of infective aphids over time, showing that all companion plant options reduce the number of infective aphids over time.

ALT Diagram of the compartments in my mathematical disease model and the rates at which individuals flow between them. Compartments are healthy plants, infected plants, resistant (companion plants), un-infective aphids and infective aphids.
