Abstract
We study the SIR epidemic model with infections carried by particles making independent random walks on a random regular graph. We demonstrate a reduction of the dynamics of the problem to an Erdos-Renyi random graph on the particle set P, which allows us to use standard results to determine phase transitions for the number of infected particles. Furthermore, edge weights on the E-R graph give information about when infections took place, which we exploit in the special SI case to determine a completion time for the process.
