Sammendrag

Common juniper (Juniperus communis) hosts not many pests or pathogens, but recently increasing needle blight has been observed in Norway. During a survey the needle blight was recorded in many parts of southern Norway but not above 550 m a.s.l., and it has been found both in forests, pastures and gardens. Trees are affected differently; some trees seem to be unaffected, while other trees may be killed. The cause of the disease is a fungus in the family Mycosphaerellaceae hitherto not reported from Norway. In forest pathology literature it has been named Stigmina juniperina, but also Asperisporium juniperinum. However, based on results of molecular sequence analyses it is proposed here that a more appropriate name should be Passalora juniperina (Georgescu & Badea) H. Solheim comb. Nov.
