This paper is concerned with the free boundary problem for a reaction-diffusion SIRI model with relapse and bilinear incidence rate. After studying the (global) existence and uniqueness of solutions, we provide some sufficient conditions on the disease spreading-vanishing dichotomies for both cases with and without relapse.
