The Fisher's equation is established combining the Fick's law for the flux and the mass conservation law with a reaction term evaluated at the present time. If this term depends on the solution at some past time, a delay parameter is introduced and the delay Fisher's equation is obtained. Modifying the Fick's law for the flux considering a time memory term, integro–differential equations of Volterra type are established.In this paper we study reaction–diffusion equations obtained combining the two modifications: a time memory term in the flux and a delay parameter in the reaction term. The delay integro–differential equations also known as delay Volterra integro–differential equations, are studied in the theoretical view point: stability estimates are established. Numerical methods which mimic the theoretical models are analysed. Numerical experiments illustrating the established results are also included.
