I'm very interested in ways to change history so that Native North Americans fare better against the white settlers. I'm aware of the Columbian Exchange, and its disease component. What I'm asking is, could a disease plausibly come about in North America, that would be especially dangerous to the settlers, or even cross into the Old World and ravage it like the Black Death had? Transmission vectors would preferably be animals that usually inhabit North America(buffaloes, wild canids, rodents...), but later could expand to include dogs and rats that come with ships.
I apologize if I sound silly to some biologist/infectologist. But any insight would be much appreciated, because a timeline might come out from this attempt at research.
