In this article, we study the existence of travelling waves for a class of epidemic models structured in space and with respect to the age of infection. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of travelling waves for such a class of problems. As a consequence of our main result, we also derive the existence of travelling waves of a class of functional partial derivative equations.
