Why has my well manicured lawn has been invaded by disease?

Good Drainage ...

Turf diseases can usually be traced to one of four causes--improper watering, poor drainage, improper mowing and over-fertilization. Poorly drained soils allow water to stand. Standing water then invites algal and some fungal pathogens to attack the lawn. Encouraging good drainage means building up the organic material in the soil and aerating regularly.
