Vampiro: Vampire Bat In Fact & Fantasy

A synthesis and summary, for the non-biologist, of the published work on vampire bats. The author explores their biology, bat-borne diseases, economic effects of vampire parasitism, methods used to control them, and legends regarding vampyres (the spelling is used to distinguish human superstitions from real bats).
