CASP3 and infection: We found that the survival time of Bid-/- rare minnow after GCRV infection was extended when compared with wild-type fish, the relative copy number of GCRV in Bid-/- rare minnow was lower than that in wild-type fish, and the expression level of Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 in Bid-/- rare minnow were significantly lower than that in the wild-type fish.
