The risk index for an SIR epidemic model and spatial spreading of the infectious disease by Min Zhu, Xiaofei Guo, Zhigui Lin

“…Our results suggest that the disease must spread if $R^F_0(t_0)≥q 1$ for some $t_0$ and the disease is vanishing if $R^F_0(∞) \lt 1$, while if $R^F_0(0) \lt 1$, the spreading or vanishing of the disease depends on the initial state of infected individuals as well as the expanding capability of the free boundary. …”
