In this paper, a reaction–diffusion system is proposed to model the spatial spreading of West Nile virus in vector mosquitoes and host birds in North America. Transmission dynamics are based on a simplified model involving mosquitoes and birds, and the free boundary is introduced to model and explore the expanding front of the infected region. The spatial-temporal risk index $$R_0^F(t)$$R0F(t), which involves regional characteristic and time, is defined for the simplified reaction–diffusion… Expand
