In this paper, we consider the monotone travelling wave solutions of a reaction–diffusion epidemic system with nonlocal delays. We obtain the existence of monotone travelling wave solutions by applying abstract existence results. By transforming the nonlocal delayed system to a non-delayed system and choosing suitable small positive constants to define a pair of new upper and lower solutions, we use the contraction technique to prove the asymptotic stability (up to translation) of monotone travelling waves. Furthermore, the uniqueness and Lyapunov stability of monotone travelling wave solutions will be established with the help of the upper and lower solution method and the exponential asymptotic stability.
