Disease Dynamics in Space
Colloquium| Speaker: | Claudia Neuhauser, School of Mathematics University of Minnesota |

Description
We consider a spatially explicit stochastic disease model on a
regular lattice. Our aim is
to investigate the spread of disease in plant populations where
the host plant and its pathogen have different interaction
neighborhoods. We demonstrate that coexistence occurs
when the dispersal distance of the host plant is much
larger than the dispersal distance of the pathogen and
show that spatial patterns occur when the reverse holds.
