It is hard to quantify, but I would say: yes, especially as far as human populations are concerned. Columbian exchange involved viruses and bacteria that caused sicknesses, and those were harder on the American population: many Americans died from European diseases.

Some Europeans died too, for example from syphilis, but not as many.
