In order to determine the prevalence of the main helminth diseases in cattle in the Faro Department (Northern Cameroon), a cross-sectional study was carried out.Data collection took place during the period from June 2025 to September 2025.A total of 200 domestic cattle of different sexes, breeds, and age groups were randomly selected for this study. Fecal samples were collected, and coproscopy was performed using the McMaster technique and the sedimentation method to determine gastrointestinal parasites. A significance level of P=.05 was set for all data analyses. Significance level was set at p-value < .05. Following the examinations, the results showed that three species of gastrointestinal parasites were identified with varying overall average prevalences: F. gigantica (59.98%), P. bovis (46.4%), and Trichostrongylus spp. (52.55%). Average prevalences by location showed that cattle in the Tchamba area were the most heavily infested (58%). Generally, male cattle were most heavily infested with F. gigantica (64.1%) and P. bovis (48.7%), while female cattle were most heavily infested with Trichostrongylus spp. (55.7%). Average prevalences also showed that young cattle (2 months to 2 years old) were the most heavily infected in the four study locations, and that the Namchi breed was the most affected (45.6%).This study shows that helminth infections remain a major problem in animal health. Therefore, it is urgent to take measures to control these helminths in order to prevent enzootic instability.
