Abstract This paper studies the traveling waves in a nonlocal dispersal SIR epidemic model with nonlinear incidence and distributed latent delay. It is found that the traveling waves connecting the disease-free equilibrium with endemic equilibrium are determined by the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_{0}$ R 0 and the minimal wave speed $c^{*}$ c ∗ . When $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ R 0 > 1 and $c>c^{*}$ c > c ∗ , the existence of traveling waves is established by using the upper-lower solutions, auxiliary system, constructing the solution map, and then the fixed point theorem, limiting argument, diagonal extraction method, and Lyapunov functions. When $\mathcal{R}_{0}>1$ R 0 > 1 and $0< c< c^{*}$ 0 < c < c ∗ , the nonexistence result is also obtained by using the reduction to absurdity and the theory of asymptotic spreading.

We investigate a stochastic SIR epidemic model with specific nonlinear incidence rate. The stochastic model is derived from the deterministic epidemic model by introducing random perturbations around the endemic equilibrium state. The effect of random perturbations on the stability behavior of endemic equilibrium is discussed. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to illustrate our theoretical results.
