Zombie Disease

Chronic wasting disease, also known as 'zombie deer disease', is the illness that leaves animals confused and drooling.

The Chronic Wasting Disease, as it is known, is caused by misfolded proteins known as prions. After infection, prions travel throughout the central nervous system, leaving prion deposits in brain tissues and organs.

Experts have labeled the disease as a ''slow-moving disaster'' and are strongly advising governments to prepare for the likelihood of its transmission to humans.

'Zombie Deer Disease' also known as Chronic wasting disease (CWD), is a contagious and fatal illness that affects cervids, a group of animals that includes deer, elk, caribou, reindeer, and moose.

Dubbed 'zombie viruses', they have the potential to unleash deadly strain of the disease that the present population is not equipped to handle.

The creators of the show said they too were inspired by a documentary series that showed ants infected with a fungus that hijacks their brains.

So far, there is no strong evidence till date for the occurrence of Chronic Wasting Disease in humans.

Eliminating dead-but-toxic cells occurring naturally in the brains of mice designed to mimic Alzheimer's slowed neuron damage and memory loss associated with the disease, according to a study published Wednesday that could open a new front in the fight against dementia.
