Asymptotic speed of propagation and traveling wavefronts for a SIR epidemic model

In this article, the well-posedness of the initial value problem, the existence of traveling wavefronts and the asymptotic speed of propagation for a SIR epidemic model with stage structure and nonlocal response are studied. We further show that the minimum wave speed in fact coincides with the asymptotic speed of propagation.
