This paper is mainly concerned with the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions of a nonlocal dispersal SIRS model with nonlocal delayed transmissions. We find that the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions are determined by the critical wave speed [Formula: see text]. More specifically, we establish the existence of traveling wave solutions for every wave speed [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by means of upper-lower solutions and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. Nonexistence of traveling wave solutions is obtained by Laplace transform for any wave speed [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we study the traveling wave solutions for a nonlocal dispersal SIR epidemic model with standard incidence rate and nonlocal delayed transmission. The existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions are determined by the basic reproduction number of the corresponding reaction system and the minimal wave speed. To prove these results, we apply the Schauder’s fixed point theorem and two-sided Laplace transform. The main difficulties are that the complexity of the incidence rate in the epidemic model and the lack of regularity for nonlocal dispersal operator.

<abstract><p>This paper is about the existence of traveling wave solutions for a delayed nonlocal dispersal SIR epidemic model with the critical wave speed. Because of the introduction of nonlocal dispersal and the generality of incidence function, it is difficult to investigate the existence of critical traveling waves. To this end, we construct an auxiliary system and show the existence of traveling waves for the auxiliary system. Employing the results for the auxiliary system, we obtain the existence of traveling waves for the delayed nonlocal dispersal SIR epidemic model with the critical wave speed under mild conditions.</p></abstract>

This paper is concerned with the minimal wave speed in a diffusive epidemic model with nonlocal delays. We define a threshold. By presenting the existence and the nonexistence of traveling wave solutions for all positive wave speed, we confirm that the threshold is the minimal wave speed of traveling wave solutions, which models that the infective invades the habitat of the susceptible. For some cases, it is proven that spatial nonlocality may increase the propagation threshold while time delay decreases the threshold.
