In this paper, we study the dynamics of a delayed reaction-diffusion rumor model with government control. By using the theory of partial functional differential equations, a Hopf bifurcation of the proposed system with delay as the bifurcation parameter is investigated. It reveals that the discrete time delay has a destabilizing effect in the rumor dynamics, and the phenomenon of Hopf bifurcation occurs as the delay increases through a certain threshold. Then by numerical simulations the impact of government control is explored. It is found that government control has strong effects on the dynamics of the model.
