I know a Karp, a jew from Bethesda, MD

 

Started digging:

Karp. (ATCC VR-150) Rickettsiae were isolated from the blood of a wounded American soldier (surname Karp), who had been evacuated to the 42nd U.S. Hospital, Brisbane, Australia from the Buna-Guna region of New Guinea where he had been presumptively infected. The patient recovered and survived. Blood collected from the soldier was submitted to the Laboratory of Microbiology and Pathology, Queensland Health Dept. on 15 January 1943. The clot was inoculated intraperitoneally into a guinea pig (Plotz, 1946). At 10 days post inoculation the febrile guinea pig was sacrificed and liver-spleen-kidney emulsions were multiply passed. Rickettsiae appeared to become more virulent, killing about 50% of inoculated guinea pigs. The material also proved virulent in mice, killing them in 6 to 10 days and showing organisms upon staining of peritoneal fluid. The isolate was sent to Dr F.M. Burnet at the Walter and Eliza Hall Memorial Institute for Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia, passed again in guinea pigs, and tissues provided to CDR I.L.V.Norman, MC, U.S. Navy by Dr. Burnet for transport on dry ice to the U.S. On the second attempt frozen samples were received at the Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda MD U.S.A. on 17 August 1943 where the isolate was used in scrub typhus vaccine and immunological studies (Blake, 1945; Plotz, 1946; Derrick , 1949). Although it did not kill the soldier who was the index case, the Karp strain of Rickettsia tsutsugamushi (now Orientia tsutsugamushi) was implicated in the infection or death of several laboratory workers, including one at the Hall Institute (Lancet, 1943).
