Can you use apples from a diseased apple tree?
Yes, you can eat most diseased plants safely be it cooked or uncooked because the pathogens infecting the plants cannot infect you. There are very few pathogens which are considered "opportunistic pathogens" who will infect both people and plants. That being said, a diseased plant may not be edible in terms of flavor or texture so if possible it is usually just preferred to eat healthy produce. A surface infection like flyspeck or sooty blotch on an apple for example will not bother you.

Which pathogens are live in human body as well in plants?
Bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be quoted as an example. P. aeruginosa, as you know, causes nosocomial infections, burn infections etc. It may infect plants also, causing blights, soft rots etc. There are other species of Pseudomonas which infect both, but mostly they are predominant in causing infections at any one level. There are many plant pathogens that cause skin infections(for example) in animals; but the vice versa, ie an animal pathogen infecting a plant is unheard of(or poorly studied!)
