To determine:
The food which might be suitable to avoid in developing countries where sanitation is poor.
Introduction:
The Protista is a kingdom consisting of simple eukaryotic organisms. The species of Protista are found in water, moist terrestrial habitat, and live as parasites in multicellular organisms. The Protista consists of a wide range of species such as green algae; fungus-like slime mold; and animal-like protozoa.
