Abstract
A dynamical network (consisting of a time-evolving wiring of interactions among a group of random walkers) is introduced to model the spread of an infectious disease in a population of mobile individuals. We investigate the main properties of this model, and show that peculiar features arise when individuals are allowed to perform long-distance jumps. Such peculiarities are captured and conveniently quantified by a series of appropriate parameters able to highlight the structural differences emerging in the networks when long-distance jumps are combined with local random walk processes.
