The existences of an asymptotic spreading speed and traveling wave solutions for a diffusive model which describes the interaction of mistletoe and bird populations with nonlocal diffusion and delay effect are proved by using monotone semiflow theory. The effects of different dispersal kernels on the asymptotic spreading speeds are investigated through concrete examples and simulations.

Keywords: reaction-diffusion, nonlocal, traveling wave., asymptotic spreading speed, Model of mistletoes and birds.
