contents We study a one-dimensional contact process with two infection parameters, one giving the infection rates at the boundaries of a finite infected region and the other one the rates within that region. We prove that the critical value of each of these parameters is a strictly monotone continuous function of the other parameter. We also show that if one of these parameters is equal to the critical value of the standard contact process and the other parameter is strictly larger, then the infection starting from a single point has positive probability of surviving. This is in contrast with another result also obtained here, that the critical contact process on the half line with enhanced infection rate at finitely many sites also dies out.
