DOIAbstract
<p>A cumulative number of 3700 BU cases were notified between 2001 and 2014, with an annual average case notification of 264 cases. The peak in 2004 is attributed to the national BU survey in that year. There is a progressive reduction in case notification since 2005. The annual BU detection rate increased from 0.99 in 2001 to 3.89 per 100 000 inhabitants in 2005 and dropped progressively to reach 1.45 per 100 000 inhabitants cases in 2014.</p
