摘要
A reaction diffusion system with time delay is proposed for virus spread on bacteria immobilized on an agar-coated plate. The delay explicitly accounts for a virus latent period of fixed duration. An interval of possible spreading speeds for virus infection is established, and traveling wave solutions are shown to exist. Linear determinacy of spreading speed breaks down for some parameter values.
