| Related to California encephalitis virus, but considered to be antigenically distinct by CF test [2] . |
| Dr. Leo Thomas [3] tested 61V-2235 (Jamestown Canyon) in a neutralization test with following results: |

| Very close antigenically to Jerry Slough virus by agar gel diffusion [5] . |
| SIRACA considers Jamestown Canyon virus to be a subtype of Melao virus, and the unregistered South River virus to be a variety of Jamestown Canyon virus. In addition, Jerry Slough virus is considered to be a strain of Jamestown Canyon virus [19] . |
