Disease from New World

by MasterSoli

I read about europeans taking diseases from home to america during colonisation, which was one of main reasons why new world civilisations were decimated, but what with diseases new for europeans? Did they affected them with equal strength? Did it happened in Asia (specialy in Japan which was somehow isolated) and Africa?

Not to discourage further discussion, but there is a section of the FAQ on indigenous American diseases among Europeans by u/anthropology_nerd and u/400-rabbits.
