[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5799544, member: 2805"] You don't need to worry about the deer susceptible to cwd. They die. The resistant deer live and breed. Similar to the sickle cell trait and disease. Developed in the tropics as a mutation of red blood cells to protect against malaria. Have 1 copy of the gene, and you get natural resistance to malaria. Get 2 copies of the gene and you get sickle cell disease and die. But more folks died from malaria itself that the sickle gene mutation, so those with the gene protecting from malaria naturally produced many more offspring than those dead from malaria. And that's why 13% of the population originating from malaria infested regions carry the gene. [/QUOTE]
