Popis: In this paper, we study the influence of spatial-dependent variables on the basic reproduction ratio (\begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0 $\end{document}) for a scalar reaction-diffusion equation model. We first investigate the principal eigenvalue of a weighted eigenvalue problem and show the influence of spatial variables. We then apply these results to study the effect of spatial heterogeneity and dimension on the basic reproduction ratio for a spatial model of rabies. Numerical simulations also reveal the complicated effects of the spatial variables on \begin{document}$ \mathcal{R}_0 $\end{document} in two dimensions.
