Five mice in a stable population of 50...

Five mice in a stable population of 500 are intentionally infected with a contagious disease to test a theory of epidemic spred that postulates the rate of change in the infected population is proportional to the product of the number of mice who have the disease with the number that are disease free. Assuming the theory is correct, how long will it take half the popullation to contract the disease?
