The distribution of the Arceuthobium oxycedri (DC.) M. Bieb. semi-parasite in Dagestan was studied. It is one of 42 species of the Arceuthobium genus, which has the widest distribution and a wide range of hosts. We found that semiparasite is sporadically distributed in the studied area and has a narrower range compared to the range of the main host. A high level of Juniperus oblonga M. Bieb. plants infection was noted in most of the studied localities. Juniperus polycarpos C. Koch individuals (t
