摘要：
We consider an individual-based SIR stochastic epidemic model in continuous space. The evolution of the epidemic involves the rates of infection and recovering of individuals. We assume that individuals move randomly on the two-dimensional torus according to independent Brownian motions. We define the sequences of empirical measures, which describe the evolution of the positions of the susceptible, infected and removed individuals. We prove the convergence in probability, as the size of the population tends to infinity, of those sequences of measures towards the solution of a system of parabolic PDEs. We show that appropriately centrered renormalized sequences of fluctuations around the above limit converge in law, as the size of the population tends to infinity, towards a Gaussian distribution valued process, solution of a system of linear PDEs with highly singular Gaussian driving processes. In the case where the individuals do not move we also define and study the law of large numbers and central limit theorem for the same sequence.
