He has held key positions in the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.[1][2][3][4] Education and career{{BLP unsourced section|date=June 2018}}Johnson studied medicine at the University of Rochester, and earned an M.D. and completed his medical residency at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He then worked at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) with respiratory cold viruses. Johnson moved to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) field laboratory in the Panama Canal Zone, studying hemorrhagic fever agents. His time at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) subsequently the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, led to field work in Africa and Korea, where he established the first completely suited Level-4 laboratory of “special pathogens” for the safe study of viruses capable of infection by the respiratory route. While at the CDC, Johnson’s team isolated and named Ebola virus in Zaire and was instrumental in the discovery of Hantaan virus in Korea, as well as serving as Chief of the Special Pathogens Branch, Virology Division. He has heavily contributed to the tropical virology field. In 1981, he left the CDC to work for the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases as the Program Director of Hazardous Viruses. He has also served as an adjunct professor of Medicine and biology at the University of New Mexico, where his energy is focused on hantaviral disease and ecology. Naming the virusesJohnson is coined with naming the Ebola virus. In an attempt to avoid stigmatization of communities, he sought alternate names that would give geographical relations, but not directly after specific communities. He named the Ebola virus after a nearby river of the Yambuku community in Northern Zaire, in which the virus was originally found - the Ebola river.[5] Awards and honorsJohnson was the 2011 recipient of the Ed Nowakowski Senior Memorial Clinical Virology Award.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://csu-cvmbs.colostate.edu/Pages/distinguished-lecturer.aspx|title=Pioneer in Zoonotic Virology to be 2011 CVMBS Pfizer Distinguished Lecturer|publisher=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.statnews.com/2016/07/14/history-ebola-peter-piot/|title=How Ebola's discovery was wrongly credited to one researcher|date=14 July 2016|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite journal|url=https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/west-africa/2015-08-18/ebolas-lessons|title=Ebola's Lessons|first=Laurie|last=Garrett|date=18 August 2015|publisher=|via=www.foreignaffairs.com}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://time.com/3502740/ebola-virus-1976/|title=Ebola Was Seen For The First Time 38 Years Ago|publisher=}} 5. ^http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/09/14/the-original-ebola-hunter.html 6. ^http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.pascv.org/resource/resmgr/Clinical_Virology_Awards/2011_Karl_M._Johnson.pdf 7. ^{{Cite journal|title=Zoonotic Diseases—An Interview with Karl M.
