In some areas of China, snake is regarded as popular delicious food, and such a food habit potentially increases the prevalence of human sparganosis. To understand the prevalence of<jats:italic>Spirometra<\/jats:italic>in snakes in food markets, we conducted a study in two representative cities (Guangzhou and Shenzhen), during January\u2013August 2013. A total of 456 snakes of 13 species were examined and 251 individuals of 10 species were infected by<jats:italic>Spirometra<\/jats:italic>, accounting for 55.0% of the total samples. The worm burden per infected snake ranged from 1 to 213, and the prevalence in the 13 species was 0<jats:italic>\u223c<\/jats:italic>96.2%. More than half (58.1%) of the spargana were located in muscular tissue, 25.6% in subcutaneous tissue, and 16.3% in coelomic cavity. The results indicated that<jats:italic>Spirometra<\/jats:italic>severely infected snakes in food markets in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, implying that eating snakes has great health risk and improper cooking methods may increase the risk of<jats:italic>Spirometra<\/jats:italic>infection in humans in China.
