Abstract
Clusters of infected individuals are defined on data from health
laboratories, but this quantity has not been defined and characterized
by epidemy models on statistical physics. For a system of mobile agents
we simulate a model of infection without immunization and show that all
the moments of the cluster size distribution at the critical rate of
infection are characterized by only one exponent, which is the same
exponent that determines the behavior of the total number of infected
agents. No giant cluster survives independent of the magnitude of the
rate of infection. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
