Solution

Viruses are called mysterious microbes because they are on verge on living and non living. They do not have a proper cellular machinery or organisation and only act as living when inside a host. They are not even capable of multiplying on their own but still when they attack living organisms, they can cause serious diseases like HIV AIDS.
