INTRODUCTION

Carollia perspicillata has proven to be a valuable laboratory model for studies in reproduction and development. We present here an overview of the care and handling of Carollia in captivity and discuss some pertinent studies in reproductive biology. Finally, we describe various features of the genome and some of the genetic manipulations that are now possible.
