The method comprises introducing near, into or onto the virus or the cell which the virus infects, or both, minute particles. These particles possess ferromagnetic, paramagnetic or diamagnetic properties. After being localized near, in or on the virus or the viral-infected cell, the particles are inductively heated by application of an alternating electromagnetic field. The inductive heating is continued for a period of time sufficient to bring about a temperature rise to a minimum necessary to kill the virus or cell or to desirably alter the behavior of the virus or infected cell. Prior to, during or after treatment, these particles can be used diagnostically to locate and/or map the virus in the living tissue.Other References
