When the Europeans traveled over to the new world in search for expansion, they brought over several deadly plagues, viruses, and bacteria. Those that had the largest impact were: smallpox, measles, typhus, and cholera. The Native Americans had no developed immunity for these diseases and thus suffered immense casualties.

I'm not sure what exact disease you're looking for but I hope I narrowed it down for you to those four :)
