The age-structure of a population, and the distribution of sexual behavior according to age, are significant factors determining the spread of the AIDS epidemic. The threshold conditions for age-structured models account for life-history information, and thus differ significantly from their age-inde
We set up a deterministic model for the spatial spread of an epidemic. Essentially, the model consists of a nonlinear integral equation which has an unique solution. We show that this solution has a temporally asymptotic limit which describes the final state of the epidemic and is the minimal soluti
