Did European diseases wipe out native African populations like it did Native American populations?

by echoesinthewarp

I just read an article that stated disease could have wiped out upwards of 90% of some native populations in the Americas. I was curious why it wouldn’t have spread in African populations, as well. Or slave populations for that matter. If it did have an equally devastating impact on native Africans, why don’t we hear about it?
