- Observation Six of eleven inventoried juniper populations were infected.
- Observation Infected juniper populations had 29.17 to 82.93% infected individuals.
- Observation Infected J. oxycedrus specimens made up 76.56% in infected populations.
- Observation Infected J. communis specimens made up 54.90%.
- Observation Infection in J. communis was generally localized and single, most often on the middle-third trunk.
- Observation J. oxycedrus infection was common in the middle third and also occurred elsewhere on trunk and branches.
- Observation J. oxycedrus infections showed a dotted pattern with uninfected areas.
- Observation The authors expect A. oxycedri to spread slowly in existing areas of Slovenia.
