with zero in Kidal. Nationally reported cases of human rabies declined in recent years with an average of 12.6 [95% CI: 8.7-16.5] deaths per year. This result gives an annual incidence of 0.1047 [0.0742-0 [...] CONCLUSION: Over the past 18 years, rabies is endemically stable in Mali despite the decrease in reported human cases. The disparity among regions in number of samples tested indicates a low level of clinical
