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.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove the existence of a critical traveling wave solution for a delayed diffusive SIR epidemic model with saturated incidence. Moreover, we establish the nonexistence of traveling wave solutions with nonpositive wave speed for this model. Our results solve some open problems left in the recent paper (Z. Xu in Nonlinear Anal. 111:66–81, 2014).
