Abstract
The existence, uniqueness up to translation and global exponential stability with phase shift of bistable travelling waves are established for a quasi- monotone reaction–diffusion system modelling man–environment–man epidemics. The methods involve phase space investigation, monotone semiflows approach and spectrum analysis.
