Abstract
Rodents such as mice can transmit their infection, for instance the hantavirus, through encounters with other rodents near them. This phenomenon can be analyzed via exact model calculations of interacting random walkers. It is shown how this is done from scratch and how interesting results emerge. V. M. Kenkre, S.
