  ABSTRACT: In this paper, we studied the traveling wave solutions of a SIR epidemic model with spatial-temporal delay. We proved that this result is determined by the basic reproduction number R 0 and the minimum wave speed c * of the corresponding ordinary differential equations. The methods used in this paper are primarily the Schauder fixed point theorem and comparison principle. We have proved that when R 0 >1 and c> c * , the model has a non-negative and non-trivial traveling wave solution. However, for R 0 <1 and c≥0 or R 0 >1 and 0<c< c * , the model does not have a traveling wave solution.
