Is it true that Columbus's voyages brought diseases that devastated indigenous populations?

Yes. A History.com reference states that the Age of Exploration Columbus helped lead brought new infectious diseases to the Americas that over time devastated native populations. Other sources partially corroborate, describing European-introduced epidemics and massive indigenous mortality after Columbus's arrival.
