A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was conducted to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning bovine fasciolosis among smallholder cattle farmers in the North West Province of South Africa. A total of 153 farmers were interviewed from three villages of the Moretele Local Municipality in Bojanala District. The majority of respondents were male (84%) farm owners (81%) that had low education levels (56% primary school or less) and employed extensive cattle management systems (84%). A large number of farms lacked infrastructure including calving pens (88%), restraining equipment (85%), and weight determination equipment (92%) while sourcing drinking water for cattle from rivers or dams (58%). No evaluated factors were significantly associated with a positive fasciolosis epidemiological knowledge score. However, education level (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.046), some cattle breeds (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.022), and management system (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) of the smallholder farmers were associated with a positive practice score concerning bovine fasciolosis prevention. We therefore recommend that education programs be introduced that focus on the mode of transmission, risk factors, zoonotic importance, and practices associated with the prevention and control of bovine fasciolosis.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11250-023-03478-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,24]],"date-time":"2023-02-24T21:02:37Z","timestamp":1677272557000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The knowledge, attitudes, and practices of smallholder cattle farmers concerning the epidemiology of bovine fasciolosis in the North West Province, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8949-8938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunday Charles","family":"Olaogun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9432-0042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geoffrey Theodore","family":"Fosgate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5368-6400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charles","family":"Byaruhanga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4784-6153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Munyaradzi Christopher","family":"Marufu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"3478_CR1","first-page":"103","volume":"5","author":"S Aregahagn","year":"2018","unstructured":"Aregahagn, S. and Melkamu, M.
