The Algerian health ministry has said it is introducing health monitoring and disinfecting of aircraft, ships, and vehicles at entry points.
It comes amid concern that the blood-sucking insects could come into Algeria due to the high number of people who travel from France.
The North African country, however, said no bedbug infestations had been reported in the country while urging vigilance. Neighboring Morocco has already announced measures to limit the risk of bedbugs spreading into its territory.
The bedbug infestation in Paris and other cities in France has been raising concerns, with questions about health and safety during next year’s Olympic Games.
