Threshold dynamics of an infective disease model with a fixed latent period and non-local infections

In this paper, we derive and analyze an infectious disease model containing a fixed latency and non-local infection caused by the mobility of the latent individuals in a continuous bounded domain. The model is given by a spatially non-local reaction–diffusion system carrying a discrete delay associated with the zero-flux condition on the boundary. By applying some existing abstract results in dynamical systems theory, we prove the existence of a global attractor for the model system. By appealing to the theory of monotone dynamical systems and uniform persistence, we show that the model has the global threshold dynamics which can be described either by the principal eigenvalue of a linear non-local scalar reaction diffusion equation or equivalently by the basic reproduction number

When all model parameters are constants, we are able to find explicitly the principal eigenvalue and
