Abstract

Based on the fact that the incubation periods of epidemic disease in asymptomatically infected and infected individuals are inevitable and different, we propose a diffusive susceptible, asymptomatically infected, symptomatically infected and vaccinated (SAIV) epidemic model with delays in this paper. To see whether epidemic disease can propagate spatially with a constant speed, we focus on the travelling wave solution for this model. When the basic reproduction number of the corresponding spatial-homogenous delayed differential system is greater than one and the wave speed is greater than or equal to the critical speed, we prove that this model admits nontrivial positive travelling wave solutions. Our theoretical results are of benefit to the prevention and control of epidemic.
