Abstract
This paper gives a detailed description of the model's various components and the overall approach used to calibrate and validate it. Study of simulated mosquito behaviours reveals the model's ability to produce the mosquito's realistic life cycle. The mosquito cohort's flight distance in various urban landscapes is also explored. The latter represent a developing neighbourhood in Delhi (India) processed using a Geographical Information System (GIS). The initial results reveal a significant relation between urban topology, human densities and adult mosquito flight.
