Rotating spiral waves without phase singularity are found to arise in acertain class of three-component reaction-diffusion systems of biologicalrelevance. It is argued that this phenomenon is universal when some chemicalcomponents involved are diffusion-free. Some more detailed mathematical andnumerical analyses are carried out on a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation withnon-local coupling to which the original system is reduced close to acodimension-two parameter set.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
