As in the title; WI the Black Death pathogen originates in the Americas (Mexico, perhaps?), and becomes a New World disease rather than an Old World disease? The Native Americans will suffer in the short term, of course, but when the Columbian exchange takes place, do the epidemics of Old World diseases in the New World and the Black Death plagues of the New World in the Old World cancel each other out?
 
Impossible to tell, as the OTL "black death" would not develop in the new world and something like the OTL "black death" will develop in the old.
