1. A method for disrupting at least one function of a targeted biologic structure, which comprises:
- a) determining at least one resonant acousto-EM energy of said biologic structure; and
b) targeting the biologic structure by providing to the biologic structure at least a portion of said at least one acousto-EM energy of the biologic structure to induce acoustic resonance in at least a portion of the biologic structure.

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.
