Abstract

We investigate the structure oftravelling waves for a model of a fungal disease propagating overa vineyard. This model is based on a set of ODEs of the SIR-typecoupled with two reaction-diffusion equations describing thedispersal of the spores produced by the fungus inside and over thevineyard. An estimate of the biological parameters in the modelsuggests to use a singular perturbation analysis. It allows us tocompute the speed and the profile of the travelling waves. Theanalytical results are compared with numerical simulations.
