I think it's not various it's virus. And if I am right then answer would be because viruses only considered to be living when present in host and if it's not present in host then it would be non living.

its virus not various .

A virus is a microscopic particle that can infect the cells of a biological organism.

Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own.

At the most basic level, viruses consist of genetic material contained within a protective protein coat called a capsid; the existence of both genetic material and protein distinguishes them from other virus-like particles such as prions and viroids.

They infect a wide variety of organisms: both eukaryotes (animals, fungi and plants) and prokaryotes (bacteria).

A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage, often shortened to phage.

The study of viruses is known as virology, and those who study viruses are known as virologists.
