You may have gotten lucky here! Usually, many diseases will infect many trees within the same Genus. This may be one that is specific to nectarine trees.

That will give you a leg up on the situation, since it hasn't spread to other trees, or branches.

Because your tree is grafted, cutting that branch will result in a loss of that species on your tree. For this reason, you will need to only remove infected leaf growth, and treat with a fungicide.

Make sure to keep any infected growth trimmed, without killing the branch wood. Keep all infected, and dropped leaves away from the area.
