I don't really know that much about minnows, ie if they're somehow genetically more impervious to disease. I would think the main thing is getting live bait from a trusted source who doesn't keep them in bad disease-prone conditions. You want to have some confidence the fish you feed them won't end up killing them. Personally, I've used goldfish and never had a problem but I was selective and made sure they at least looked healthy to me...
