I'd say ebola.
But in history -
a) Malaria. Killed more than anything else.
b) Measles. It's wiped out entire civilisations. In Australia when white men arrived, by the time they got inland more than half the population had died. Then in my state of Victoria , it hit them again and wiped out half again. White men couldn't believe all the open grassland.
c) The plague in Europe. Entire towns disappeared and went back to forest.

@Abstraction Letter C. Are you talking about the Bubonic plague?

@xSiFiGamer2016x Yes. "The most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa, peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351"

@Abstraction I've learned this since middle school. It was a project that I've done and doing so was interesting, but sad of how the Europeans died off quickly.
