The first nations people by and large were nomadic and did not live in large urban conurbations. They also did not have domesticated animals. This meant that their environment did not produce plague diseases (apart from syphilis) and therefore the native people were not immune to or regularly exposed to plague diseases.
The situation in the Old world was different, there were large urban conurbations and livestock lived in close proximity to people resulting in people being regularly exposed to epidemic organisms (which were crossing the species barriers) but surviving these.
When the two people came in contact the new world people succumbed rapidly to the infection the old world brought with them (because they had no immunity) and 90-95% of these people died.

How did the first nations affect the europeans?
Well, when Christopher Columbus and Jaque Cartier came, the first nations gave them everything they had. Then the europeens used first nations as slaves. If the first nations didn't listen to the europeens they would be killed. That's exacty what happened. That's why today in North America we don't have many first nations left, soon they'll all be gone. So do we really like Christopher colombus because he dicovered North America? But we also have to remember that he distroyed the First people of Canada!
