Epidemic Phase Transitions in the Zero-Range Process

We consider a model for the spread of an infection within an interacting particle system on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, generalizing a framework introduced by Kesten and Sidoravicius to a zero-range process in equilibrium with density $\rho>0$. In our model, at any time, individuals are either healthy or infected. The infection sp...
