Abstract
The present invention makes use of resonant acousto-EM energy (alone or in combination with resonant acoustic energy) applied to biologic structures for the disruption of at least one function of the biologic structure. In particular, the invention provides methods of generating acousto-EM energy in biologic structures such as virus, bacteria, fungi, worms and tumors for the disruption of these structures.
