Differential effects of alloherpesvirus CyHV-3 and rhabdovirus SVCV on apoptosis in fish cells

• CyHV-3 inhibits the apoptotic process in vivo and in vitro. • SVCV induces apoptosis-related gene expression in vitro. • Similar cellular apoptosis-related anti-host strategies exist among Herpesviridae and Alloherpesviridae.
