Boxwood Disease? #848680

Hello. I've been trying to determine what my boxwoods have = leaf miners, volutella blight, or something else. The leaves to me look like it could be leaf miners, but the leaves don't look swollen in the discolored areas, and I have opened several leaves without finding the larvae inside. Can you tell me what my boxwoods have, and how I might treat them? Thank you.

It has been such a rough year with boxwoods. It is hard to find many boxwoods that have not suffered from something. The article below is very comprehensive on descriptions of some of the pests and diseases.

Diagnosing boxwoods from photos is a very difficult challenge because there are so many things to consider . The articles I sent should help.
