Genetic evidence for the presence of two species of Onchocerca from the wild boar in Japan
In order to clarify the genetic differences between Onchocerca dewittei japonica, the causative agent of zoonotic onchocerciasis in Japan and a related undescribed Onchocerca sp., both parasitizing wild boar (Sus scrofa) of which the infective larval stages are indistinguishable from each other, we...
