Molecular identification of infective larvae found in wild\u2010caught female blackflies showed that\n Simulium bidentatum<\/jats:italic>\n (Shiraki) (Diptera: Simuliidae) is a natural vector of\n O. dewittei japonica<\/jats:italic>\n , and also\n Onchocerca<\/jats:italic>\n sp. sensu Fukuda\n et al.<\/jats:italic>\n , another parasite of wild boar. Inoculation experiments demonstrated that\n Simulium arakawae<\/jats:italic>\n Matsumura and four other\n Simulium<\/jats:italic>\n species are putative vectors.
