Abstract: In this paper, we study a reaction-diffusion vector-host epidemic model. We define the basic reproduction number R0 and show that R0 is a threshold parameter: if R0le1 the disease free steady state is globally stable; if R0>1 the model has a unique globally stable positive steady state. We then write R0 as the spectral radius of the product of one multiplicative operator R(x) and two compact operators with spectral radius equalling one. Here R(x) corresponds to the basic reproduction number of the model without diffusion and is thus called local basic reproduction number. We study the relationship between R0 and R(x) as the diffusion rates vary.
