La Crosse virus (LACV), snowshoe hare virus (SSHV), Tahyna virus (TAHV), Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV), and Inkoo virus (INKV) are members of the CSG that have been reported to cause neurologic disease in humans.

CHATV strains have [approximately equal to] 84% aa identity with INKV within the nucleocapsid protein but are more similar to the
Snowshoe hare virus (93% nucleocapsid protein identity) that occurs in the United States.
An increase in titer between the acute- and convalescent-phase samples was found only for California encephalitis and
snowshoe hare virus. The titers for the convalescent-phase serum were 1:320 for California encephalitis and 1:180 for the closely related
snowshoe hare virus (Table), which has never been reported in California.
