This work is concerned with the properties of the traveling wave of the backward and forward parabolic equation \begin{equation*} u_t= [ D(u)u_x]_x + g(u),\quad t\geq 0, x\in \mathbb{R}, \end{equation*} where $D(u)$ changes its sign once, from negative to positive value, in the interval $u\in [0,1]$ and $g(u)$ is a mono-stable nonlinear reaction term. The existence of infinitely many traveling wave solutions is proven. These traveling waves are parameterized by their wave speed and monotonically connect the stationary states $u\equiv0$ and $u\equiv 1$.
Keywords: Aggregation diffusion processes, population dynamics, traveling wave solution..
