    Chronic wasting disease outlives the deer it kills. Wildlife managers have culled entire deer herds and waited as long as six years before reintroducing animals to affected areas – only to see the disease return. That's because the particles that cause chronic wasting disease persist in the soil, where they're taken up by plants and passed back to the deer that eat them, says Miranda Turner, a wildlife biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
