Boundedness and asymptotic behavior of solutions for a diffusive epidemic model

The aim of this paper is to study the existence and the asymptotic behavior of solutions for some reaction–diffusion equations arising in epidemic biology phenomena. We will show that for a rather broad class of nonlinearities, the solutions are global and uniformly bounded, and under suitable assumptions on the parameters of the system, these solutions converge as time goes to infinity to a disease‐free equilibrium point.
