European contact in the Americas introduced smallpox, swine 'flu, measles, tuberculosis, whooping cough, anthrax, brucellosis, leptospirosis, and malaria, both by personal contact and via the introduction of livestock.

Sure, but you seem to forget, that in return, the Europeans carried home the 'French Disease' (Syphilis) so far unknown to the European population - as well as that awful and deadly Tobacco Smoking disease.
