Abstract
A model has been formulated in [6] to describe the spatial spread of an epidemic involving n types of individual, and the possible wave solutions at different speeds were investigated. The final size and pandemic theorems are now established for such an epidemic. The results are relevant to the measles, host-vector, carrier-borne epidemics, rabies and diseases involving an intermediate host. Diseases in which some of the population is vaccinated, and models that divide the population into several strata are also covered.Keywords
