title: Wave solutions for the deterministic non-reducible n-type epidemic.
abstract: A model is formulated to describe the spatial spread of an epidemic involving n types of individual. This encompasses the measles, host-vector and carrier-borne epidemics, and in addition rabies involving several species of animal. The existence, uniqueness and non-existence of wave solutions for different speeds are established for this model.
