Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the existence and nonexistence of traveling wave solutions of a nonlocal dispersal epidemic model with treatment. The existence of traveling wave solutions is established by Schauder's fixed point theorem as well as a limiting argument, while the nonexistence of traveling wave solutions is proved by two-sided Laplace transform and Fubini's theorem. From the results, we conclude that the minimal wave speed is an important threshold to predict how fast the disease invades.

Key words: Traveling waves, Nonlocal dispersal, Minimal wave speed, Two-sided Laplace transform
