Abstract: In this paper we put forward a viral propagation model with nonlinear infection rate and free boundaries and investigate the dynamical properties. This model is composed of two ordinary differential equations and one partial differential equation, in which the spatial range of the first equation is the whole space mathbbR, and the last two equations have free boundaries. As a new mathematical model, we prove the existence, uniqueness and uniform estimates of global solution, and provide the criteria for spreading and vanishing, and long time behavior of the solution components u,v,w. Comparing with the corresponding ordinary differential systems, the {it Basic Reproduction Number} calR0 plays a different role. We find that when calR0le1, the virus cannot spread successfully; when calR0>1, the successful spread of virus depends on the initial value and varying parameters.
