Abstract
⺠Pattern of spread of gypsy moth in North America is controlled by the impact of NPV, a common pathogen in forest insects. ⺠Simulations using a diffusive SI model reveal a spatial pattern that is qualitatively similar to that observed in nature. ⺠Values of biological parameters for the gypsy moth population dynamics are found in comprehensive literature search. ⺠Simulated gypsy moth spread rates are in a good agreement with observed rates for biologically reasonable parameter values.
