Smallpox, measles, diphtheria, typhus, influenza, malaria, yellow fever, and maybe pulmonary plague caused severe declines in the population of native peoples in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies. 2. Similar patterns of contagion and mortality may be observed in the English and French colonies in North America.
