“…Ge et al. in ( Ge, Kim, Lin, & Zhu, 2015 ) studied a simplified SIS model with advection and free boundary and gave the spreading speeds when spreading happens; a diffusion-advection simplified SIS epidemic model in a heterogeneous time-periodic environment was studied in ( Ge, Lei, & Lin, 2017 ); a SIS reaction-diffusion model with free boundary and mass action mechanism was discussed in ( Wang & Guo, 2019 ); recently an SIS epidemic reaction-diffusion model with mass-action incidence incorporating spontaneous infection in a spatially heterogeneous environment was examined ( Tong, Ahn, & Lin, 2021 ); a SIS model risk-induced dispersal of infected individuals has been studied ( Choi, Lin, & Ahn, 2022 ); the spreading or vanishing of an SIS epidemic model with free boundary and nonlocal incidence rate was analyzed in ( Cao et al., 2017b ; Huang & Wang, 2019 ).…”
