Scaling of the propagation of epidemics in a system
of mobile agents

For a two-dimensional system of agents modeled by molecular dynamics,
we simulate epidemics spreading, which was recently studied on
complex networks.
Our resulting network model is time-evolving.
We study the transitions to spreading as function of density,
temperature and infection time. In addition, we analyze the epidemic
threshold associated to a power-law distribution of infection
times.
