Anthrax spores can survive in the environment for long periods, often years or even decades, depending on conditions such as temperature and moisture. In soil, spores can remain viable for decades, making them a persistent threat in areas where anthrax is endemic. In contrast, the vegetative form of the bacteria, which is responsible for infection, does not survive long outside a host.
