  • Brownian snails with removal is a spatial epidemic model defined as follows. Initially, a homogeneous Poisson process of susceptible particles on $\mathbb R^d$ with intensity $λ>0$ is deposited and a single infected one is added at the origin. Each particle performs an independent standard Brownian motion. Each susceptible particle is infected immediately when it is within distance 1 from an infected particle. Each infected particle is removed at rate $α>0$, and removed particles remain such forever. Answering a question of Grimmett and Li, we prove that in one dimension, for all values of $λ$ and $α$, the infection almost surely dies out.
