Editor’s summary
Models are useful for predicting the effects of malaria control measures, particularly vector control interventions. The robustness of results can be affected by several important modelling assumptions, including the type of boundary used for landscapes, and the number of replicated simulation runs. In the ABM model described here, landscapes with varying densities of houses and human populations are generated, and 12,000 simulations ave been run.

Editor’s summary
This paper presents a very focused analysis of adult mosquito characteristics relevant to dessication resistance. The major finding is that phenotypic characteristics of the adult female mosquitoes show an inversion-correlated resistance to dessication phenotype shortly after emergence.
