Results from variants of the Fisher equation in the study of epidemics and bacteria

The Fisher equation, which combines diffusive motion of individuals with nonlinearities arising from their growth and competition processes, is analyzed, generalized, and applied to the dynamics of bacteria, pattern formation, and the spread of epidemics. Analytic solutions are also presented for some exactly soluble and physically relevant variants of the equation.
