We study a host-pathogen system in a bounded spatial habitat where the environment is closed.Extinction and persistence of the disease are investigated by appealing to theories of monotone dynamical systems and uniform persistence. We also carry out a bifurcation analysis for steady state solutions, andthe results suggest that a backward bifurcation may occur when the parameters in the system are spatially dependent.
