How did remote places in Asia and Africa not succumb to the same wave of disease and death that the Native Americans did?

Question

I’m not saying they weren’t affected at all, but something like 90% of Native Americans were wiped out while places like Japan and deep parts of the African interior didn’t suffer nearly as hard, even though they previously had basically no contact with Europe.

By contrast Rinderpest, a cattle disease, swept through Africa in the late 1800s and early 1900s and wiped out the vast majority of herds, which in turn was responsible for food shortages, famine and related illnesses, and man-eating lions and leopards as there was a mass death rates among all ungulates. Luckily this disease has not jumped into human populations.
