What role did disease play in encounters between native groups and the first british settlers

When the European came to the New World, they not only exchanged goods but spread diseases which the Native American were not immune to it. Diseases wiped the majority of the Native Indians population. The diseases were smallpox, plague, chickenpox, cholera, influenza, measles, typhus, scarlet fever, tuberculosis. When the British settlers first came to establish Plymouth colony, Powhatan tribe was half wiped out. The Native Indian remain hostile to colonists, which later changed as they helped the settlers to settle in New World.
