A periodic reaction-diffusion system modelling man-environment-man epidemics. (English) Zbl 1365.92114

Summary: The purpose of this work is to study the spatial dynamics of a periodic reaction-diffusion epidemic model arising from the spread of oral-faecal transmitted diseases. We first show that the disease spreading speed is coincident with the minimal wave speed for monotone periodic travelling waves. Then we obtain a threshold result on the global attractivity of either zero or the positive periodic solution in a bounded spatial domain.
