For a pulse in which only infectives diffuse, the travelling-wave equations imply v−​=η(s∗−s−​)/(1+η) and m−​=log(s∗/s−​)/(1+η). Integrating total biological population balance with vanishing infective derivative at both infinities gives the displayed final-size relation. Its nontrivial root requires 0<s−​<1<s∗. Thus deaths are exactly (s∗−s−​)/(1+η), while live density behind the wave is (s−​+ηs∗)/(1+η). The root is independent of η in this particular pulse model.
