Using the SU(2) lattice QCD, we formulate the dual Wilson loop and study the dual Higgs mechanism induced by monopole condensation in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge, where QCD is reduced into an abelian gauge theory including the electric current $j_\mu$ and the monopole current $k_\mu$. After the abelian projection in the MA gauge, the system can be separated into the photon part and the monopole part corresponding to the separation of $j_\mu$ and $k_\mu$, respectively. We study here the monopole part (the monopole-current system), which is responsible to the electric confinement. Owing to the absence of electric currents, the monopole part is naturally described using the dual gluon field $B_\mu$ without the Dirac-string singularity. Defining the dual Wilson loop from the dual gluon $B_\mu$, we find the perimeter law of the dual Wilson loop in the lattice QCD simulation. In the monopole part in the MA gauge, the inter-monopole potential is found to be flat, and can be fitted as the Yukawa potential in the infrared region after the subtraction of the artificial finite-size effect on the dual Wilson loop. From more detailed analysis of the inter-monopole potential considering the monopole size, we estimate the effective dual-gluon mass $m_B \simeq 0.5$GeV and the effective monopole size $R \simeq 0.2$fm. The effective mass of the dual gluon field at the long distance can be regarded as an evidence of ``infrared monopole condensation''.
