Can Apple Trees Get Eastern Filbert Blight?

I have a filbert tree that has the blight, several other trees already died and were removed. Today I think I saw the familiar bubbles under the bark on my apple tree. Is it possible that apple trees get it too? And will it kill them also? Is there anything I can do?

This research says it only affects filbert-type trees. https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/eastern-filbert-blight/ ^[1]
Here's our GKH article on how to treat the disease:

But apple have their own blights like fire blight and Southern blight.
