The graphical results displayed an exponential decay as the mosquito ratio to human ratio was decreased compared to the peak infection number. In both the sample and New York City simulations the rate of change was much greater between the 2:1 to 1:1 ratios than from 5:1 to 4:1. This evidence suggests that as more mosquitoes are killed off, the viral peak infection number decreases exponentially. Graph 1 displays the information from table 2. The X-axis represents the number of mosquitoes removed
