Description

<jats:p>In this paper, we study an SIR epidemic model with nonlocal dispersal. We study the case with vital dynamics so that a renewal of the susceptible individuals is taken into account. We characterize the asymptotic spreading speed to estimate how fast the disease under consideration spreads. Due to the lack of comparison principle for the SIR model, our proof is based on a delicate analysis of related problems with nonlocal scalar equations.</jats:p>
