Until the 1960s, Waiwai dogs were kept on elevated shelves or hammocks within a communal house. This practice is partially retained through the use of external, elevated dog houses placed on stilts. The Waiwai keep their dogs within these elevated houses primarily to reduce jigger flea (Tunga penetrans) infections in both dogs and humans in the community. Milstein, et al. (2022)
