Only if there is better combat form hosts around.
Halo wars showed grunt and jackal combat forms, so it is possible.
Or, another way of describing it is grunt and jackal combat forms get damaged quicker, and thus mutate into carrier forms sooner.
As for the hunter worms? They don't have spines as I know, which is the main thing. So hunters are pretty much immune to the flood in general.
Halo Wars played fast and loose with the canon as it is. iirc, Infected Grunts and Jackals aren't recognized as actual Flood fodder. They would more likely be turned into the Carrier forms. As for the Lekgolo, they lack a central nervous system, so yes, they aren't potential hosts in any form.
They do not have enough calcium (Grunts and Jackals) to make for suitable hosts, with that said, that doesn't mean they won't be used if there's nothing better around.
