There was more than just one disease transferred to the aboriginals of North America when European settlers arrived, but a disease that caused a lot of trouble was smallpox.

What diseases did the American Indians get by the American colonists?

The Native Americans actually did give the Europeans a few diseases however they are debatable. One of the diseases that Europeans contracted on their way to the New World and at the new world was typhus. Another disease that affected the people coming to the New World was syphilis, now see this is the debatable disease because many believe that It was contracted by Hispaniola but it could still be considered something that was given to the people who came to the New World. Now I do not believe the Europeans got this disease but the Spaniards did.
